I'm using Xfce on Ubuntu 11.04; both the default clock and the Orage applet are vastly inferior to the Gnome 2 clock I was used to that lets you click and display both a calendar and timezones and weather forecasts for locations round the world; I'd like to have that functionality.



xf-applet is meant to allow Gnome panel applets in Xfce and works fine, but the clock applet is not one of those listed...




  • Why is this?

  • Is it possible to use the clock applet somehow?

  • If not, is there some equivalent Xfce thing that combines clock, multiple timezones, and weather forecasts in a single applet?

For xfapplet to work:




Most applets were converted to use the new dbus panel applet api
introduced in GNOME 2.32. Xfce only supports the old bonobo-based
applets, so a lot of applets are unavailable to Xfce now.

Thus, to get the majority of gnome-applets to work you need to download maverick packages - for example gnome-applets and gnome-applets-data (v2.30.x)



The clock-applet in gnome however is tied to the gnome-panel package. Due to the number of dependencies, it would be very difficult to downgrade to the version of gnome-panel in maverick.



I'm afraid it looks like xfce doesnt have the combined applet you want :(
