Package: kicker
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
Many thanks for the clock applet, it's very nice.
When clock type is 'fuzzy', there's a bug with the timezones feature.
The bug doesn't happen with the other clock types.
If you step to the next timezone (by clicking the middle mouse button),
the display changes to "Twelve o'clock". It stays like that until the end
of the current minute, when the fuzzy string is updated correctly.
If you click at just the right moment (or the wrong moment!) you can even
produce an unreadable string with part or "Twelve o'clock" over-writing part
of a different string.
I suggest that it would be better to generate a new fuzzy string as soon as
the timezone is changed, rather than waiting until the minute is over.
(This shouldn't be hard to do. For example, when you change clock type from
digital to fuzzy, the correct fuzzy string is generated immediately.)
For the record, I attach ~/.kde/share/config/clockappletrc
