Clock shows completed tasks as incomplete

[Ross Burton]

The clock applet doesn't check everything it should to decide if a task is complete, leading to tasks marked as complete in Tasks (see pimlico-project.org) are incomplete in the clock.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416120 is the upstream bug, which is committed to svn. Please either ship gnome-panel 2.18.2 when it is released, or apply the patch in the bug.

I followed the steps in comment 4 and verified the error. Then I installed a updated gnome-panel, restarted the panel and verified that the task is correclty marked done in the calendar applet. I mark this verification done.
