Comment 23 for bug 730476

Digging deeper into indicator-applet it appears this code just responds to the size request that the indicator makes, which should be perfectly ample.

I doubt there is a way to detect indicator side if you're unity2d or unity3d particularly easily, and even then I wouldn't really want to special case the size stuff for one over the other.

The effected code appears to be in indicator-datetime.c, guess_label_size.

I'll poke at this particular function and test some things and see what kinds of results I get.
