RE: gnome-core compiliation error: _localtime_r undefined

["BASS, Ned*" <nbass shl com>]

It appears that the applet uses localtime_r blindly, without being
conditionalized by HAVE_LOCALTIME_R.  Also, there is no check in
configure.in for localtime_r, so it appears that it is broken (according to
the criterion you gave me). Sorry I can't provide a patch because my
knowledge of c programming is very limited, but hopefully someone can make
the needed changes.

Thanks for your help,
Ned
