hdate-applet should increment the date at nightfall, not midnight

[toobuntu]

Binary package hint: hdate-applet

Days on the Hebrew calendar begin at nightfall, not at midnight like they do on the Gregorian calendar. The hdate-applet should increment dates at nightfall from Saturday night through Thursday night, and at sundown on Friday night.

The reason for the different time on Friday night is because of the uncertain time between sunset and nightfall, and the longstanding tradition to err on the side of allotting extra time to the Sabbath from Friday night to Saturday night.

If there is a desire to keep things simple and not implement the sunset/nightfall distinction, the date should increment at sundown, because that time is already known to and displayed by hdate-applet.
