Mythbuntu theme doesn't show date/time in mythwelcome

[John Veness]

Since a few versions ago, mythwelcome no longer shows a date and time when using the Mythbuntu theme. I'm not sure, but I think this might be due to a change in the MythTV theming engine. Comparing Mythbuntu/welcome-ui.xml with MythCenter-wide/welcome-ui.xml, I notice that Mythbuntu theme uses:

        <textarea name="time_text" from="basetextarea">
            <area>1072,24,176,36</area>
            <font>time</font>
            <align>right</align>
            <value></value>
        </textarea>

        <textarea name="date_text" from="time_text">
            <area>32,24,304,84</area>
            <multiline>yes</multiline>
            <align>left</align>
            <value></value>
        </textarea>

whereas MythCenter-wide theme (which does successfully show a date/time) uses:

        <clock name="date">
            <area>32,24,304,84</area>
            <font>time</font>
            <template>dddd\ndd MMMM yyyy</template>
            <align>left,top</align>
            <cutdown>true</cutdown>
        </clock>

        <clock name="time" from="date">
            <area>1072,24,176,36</area>
            <template>%TIME%</template>
            <align>right</align>
        </clock>

I'm guessing that <clock> is now the correct thing to do but I haven't tried modifying the Mythbuntu theme to use it.
