Hello,
I am trying to change the default location in the clock applet from being
Boston Ma. to Raleigh, NC. in RHEL 6 for our labs. I want to do this so
that the weather icon shows up for any lab users and so that it shows the
correct weather for my location in Raleigh.
I installed a fresh machine and configured the panel the way I want it. I
deleted Boston Ma. and added Raleigh, NC. by hand as I configured the
panel. Then I ran:
gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel > my-panel-setup.entries
and set up on a fresh install on another machine:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --load my-panel-setup.entries
Everything is "almost" correct. My icons are all set up on the panel the
way I want them. But when I click on the clock applet, it shows my
location in Raleigh as a blinking red / white dot. When I hover over the
analog clock in the GUI, a "set..." button pops up. When I click on the
"set..." button it prompts me for the root password and then it changes
the dot into a blue "house" icon.
After this "set..." button has been clicked on the weather icon magically
appears in the panel with the correct weather for my location. For "all"
users on the system. (not just my account)
Does anyone know how I can programattically do that with a command?
/etc/localtime seems to be the same on both machines. I've looked at the
sources to the gnome-panel rpm but its a lot of code and I can't seem to
figure this one out on my own. :(
Thanks for any ideas anyone has? Do you think it will be possible to do
what I am trying to do? (change clock applet to show weather in Raleigh,
NC.)
