Bug Description

When the environment contains LANG=C (in .pam_environment, for example), the clock in gnome-panel disapears if it is either in 12-hour format, or it displays seconds.

Thanks

Just tested — works fine for me, the weekdays/month names show and are English as expected.

Are you using gnome-panel's own clock applet, or indicator-datetime? (And do you have a screenshot?)

Perhaps I should mention I'm using gnome-session-flashback?

And it was both.

If required, I can re-do it and take a screenshot.

Let me know.

Thanks

Please attach the screenshot and output of "locale" command, so that I could reproduce your environment more precisely.

In your first screenshot the clock is not gnome-panel's clock, but indicator-datetime clock. Reassigning to correct package.

Is this one gnome panel clock? Or is this also the indicator?
