Bug Description

Binary package hint: docky

The hour hand of the analogue clock is displaying complete nonsense. Right now it is 15:09h (GMT+1), both the clock in gnome-applet as well as tha digital clock of the docklet display this time correctly. The minute hand of the analogue clock displays :09h correctly, too. But the hour clock is somewhere in the middle between 6 and 7 o'clock.
The small box appearing while hovering with the mouse over the clock also shows the correct time.

Weird, now at 23:18h the clock is more or less correct. (the hour hand seems a bit fast, but in general correct)

OK, never mind, it's an analogue 24h clock.

Would be nice to be able to switch to the usual 12h format, because I'm not used to 24h clocks. This makes it really hard to read and thus takes away the big advantage that analogue clocks have.

I just realized that there exists the possibility to use a 12h mode analogue clock. But you can only choose in digital clock mode. The analogue mode disables the check box, but respects its setting.
So in the end this is a bug, don't disable the check box in analogue mode and you're done.
