Re: PATCH: foobar clock widget

Mikael -

Thanks for your suggestions.  But, I have to disagree. The menu panel is
a different type of panel.  It always contains Applications, Actions,
the Clock, and Tasks.  The goal of the menu panel is to provide average
users with a familiar panel layout.  If you don't like the menu panel
then you shouldn't use it.  You could replace it with an edge panel at
the top of your screen.  BTW, you stated that the clock applet is better
than the hard coded clock in the foobar.  But, who is the clock applet
better for?  I don't think it is better for the average user.

Thanks,
Dennis
