I've had a curious problem for some time with the clock on my panel. For some reason, it does not show the date, even though I have right-clicked on the clock, gone to Configure Clock=>Appearance, and checked Display=>Date. If I check Display=>Day of week the day shows up fine. Has anyone else seen this behaviour) It only occurs on one rather ancient laptop (Sony C1VFK Picturebook); I have several other machines, including an identical laptop, but they don't show this problem. This machine also has an occasional habit of jumping timezones, so that eg I am told the time in Tokyo, and also that I am in Tokyo, even though the setting in Configure Clock=>Timezones is correct. The actual "date" command always works correctly. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
