I have changed my setup yesterday so I guess it will be the later which is more than unfortunate because I do not restart X session very often (it's typically with the new kernel rc). Is this fixable? I have to admit I didn't have time to look into the sources yet but I thought that the applet would simply use the localtime and that should get updated automatically.
