Enable leading zeros in Clock Desklet

[Danny Trunk]

Be able to use format like %y-%02m-%02d to get format like: 2011-07-04
I added this functionality (not the clean way) by doing:
        out = date_format.replace("%y", `y`) \
                         .replace("%m", `m`) \
                         .replace("%d", `d`) \
                         .replace("%02m", `m`.zfill(2)) \
                         .replace("%02d", `d`.zfill(2))

Maybe there's a better way?!
Just a suggestion...

Thanks for the hint/code.
I'll take a look at it and will try to implement it in the upcoming version of the Clock Desklet which should be shipped with gDesklets 0.36.4 ;).

Just changed the Clock Desklet to use the "strftime" output provided by Python's time module:
http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.strftime
I think/guess this is the way it should be done.

The new version of the Clock Desklet (v0.55) can be found in rev. #65 of the desklets-basic branch.

To be able to use this new feature the Clock Desklet needs an updated version of the ITime Control (ITime:cod6a75eyg1gl9rqbjlx967cu-2). This can be found in rev. #182 of the 0.3x branch.

Both will be released with the upcoming release of gDesklets 0.36.4.
