Binary package hint: gnome-panel

The calendar applet (the one visible after clicking the clock) is slow to update its date field. Only after hiding it once, and showing it again will it update the date.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Log in
2) Run a session for a day or two
3) Open the calendar applet by clicking the clock. Although the date in the text field is correct, the graphic calendar still shows the date at which you either originally logged in, or clicked the calendar before.
4) Hide it, and show it once more. The calendar now shows the correct date.

The conflicting visual data can be very confusing if you only summon the calendar to find out what day it is. (I don't get much sunlight.)

Using gnome-panel-1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6.5 on Natty.
