This is very likely a duplicate of Bug 384254, please check

Nah ! - it's much simpler and more prosaic than that ;-)

The problem is: I set the time before: on the 22nd.

When you pop-up the dialog - I -think- it re-uses the widgets & window from before: which is set to the current date the first time it's created :-)

So - the 1st time you pop-up your "change the date" applet, it has the correct current date.

The 2nd time, it has what you selected last time (check by changing the selection with the mouse).

The fix is trivial I guess: call gtk_calendar_select_month and select_day as we pop the window up again :-)

Federico ?

Why don't you follow Comment #74 from Bug 384254 just to make sure ? I couldn't grasp it neither on first sight..

Sure ;-) I am 1000% certain it is an unrelated bug, and the fix is as I outline above.

fix

Vincent - trivial, obviously correct patch to fix silly panel bug ;-)

Bah, sorry for forgetting this. I committed your patch upstream.
Tagging with gnome-update so that it can go in a gnome-panel round of update.

Closing the bug since the update got rejected in bug 412722 :/
(it's fixed in factory, of course)
