I don't believe this merits the "High" importance under the guidelines of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20importances... this doesn't have a severe impact on users, make a default Ubuntu installation generally unusable, etc.
One could argue this is a Low importance but (ie, there is an easy workaround, just use both settings). However, these two keys aren't equivalent . clock-format is a 12h/24h toggle. time-format has those two options, and two others: (1) follow the locale default, and (2) use a custom strftime-style format string. So dropping the time-format key would regress us on those two settings, and locale-default is in fact the default setting. I guess we could replace the 12h/24h options in clock-format with an entry 'use-clock-format', but I'm not sure that would actually help if the goal is to simplify the dconf settings :) ** Changed in: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174261 Title: Ubuntu Time & Date applet should set GNOME 12/24-hour clock format Status in The Date and Time Indicator: Confirmed Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In GNOME, the setting /org/gnome/desktop/interface/clock-format has value "12h" or "24h" and determines whether GNOME applications such as Nautilus display 12-hour or 24-hour time. In vanilla GNOME's control center there's a Time & Date applet which lets the user set this value. In Ubuntu's control center, the 12/24-hour control in theTime & Date applet sets a different value, namely /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/time-format. This setting determines how the clock appears in the Unity panel, but has no effect on GNOME applications. This leads to a poor and confusing user experience. The format in the Unity panel may not match that in GNOME applications. The user has no way to control the GNOME 12/24 hour setting through the Ubuntu control center. I think the best solution here is to eliminate /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/time-format, to let the user configure the underlying GNOME setting and to use that to decide how to display the clock in Unity.
