Sorry for the little problem in step 2, you should read : xclock -digital -strftime "%d %B %Y - k:%M:%S" -update 1

Is this submitted upstream?

[Comment 4 jack_mort 2005-04-04 08:54:54 UTC]

Well, I don't know...

if you haven't filed it upstream yourself, then it isn't.

It seems a patch was included upstream in CVS...

This should be fixed in modular (7.0).
