Description Pavel Šimerda (pavlix) 2011-04-04 10:57:19 UTC
In a gnome session, I see currently "Mon 12:53" at the top of the screen, which is a mixture of daytime clock and day-in-week indicator.

In most (if not all) panel-based desktop environments, I can setup a date&time indicator (customizable date format being the best option).

yum install gnome-tweak-tool or use gsettings 

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.clock show-date true

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.clock show-seconds true

Thanks for the advanced-user suggestions, I used them, but back to the feature request...

Does it mean the casual users aren't expected to set up the clock to show them date? What leads to the conclusion that day-of-week is useful for them, but date is not?
