Public bug reported:
run gconf and change the clock app's format to a custom one. On my
system (ubuntu 11.04 using custom desktop) it is
/apps/panel/applets/applet_0/prefs. Enter 'custom' for 'format' and (eg)
'%Y/%b/%d (%a)' for 'custom_format'. Quit gconf.
You should see the custom format displayed in the clock as (eg)
'2011/Oct/21 (Fri)'.
Now, right click on the clock and select 'copy date'. Paste somewhere.
Observe that instead of '2011/Oct/21 (Fri)' you get 'Friday, 21 October
2011'.
Please consider implementing a change to make the 'copy date' option
copy what is displayed and not ... something else.
Clock 2.32.1 - difficult to tell what package this is in (would be nice
to have in the 'about'), but I'm guessing it is /usr/lob/gnome-panel
/clock-applet which is part of gnome-panel versino 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6.5.
