Re: Bad icons on the GWorkspace dock

[Gregory Casamento]

Just a quick heads up. AClock has a memory leak.  If its run continuously it tends to eat up lots of memory.

You mean not displaying the time in the Dock, because mine is
displaying the time in the minified icon on the bottom of the screen.

In the Info Panel, i can see :
- The Clock running and showing the time exactly, as the
minified-window does.
- The release is : 0.4.0
- Author : unknown
- URL : http://gap.nongnu.org/aclock/
- Copyright : 2003-2011

Also I found some kind of EasterEgg : then You click on the running
clock in the Info Panel, it shows a new window, which has this title :
"Memory Panel" and which shows this table : ClassName, Current, Total,
Peak...
