Well, if the frame always auto-hid after 10 seconds, and the delay for idle-suspend was 15 seconds, then it would work. I personally believe that the frame should be hidden more agressively - whenever there's a user action that doesn't address it, and after a longish timeout around 10 seconds. In

Anything else is just hacks on top of hacks. I disagree. Personally, I think auto-hiding the frame after a delay is a clean solution that's desirable anyway. But I do agree that the decision of whether to hide the frame or not should not be based on stopped clocks. Jameson

Hi Martin, I was hoping the frame clock could be implemented as a device icon extension, so people could add it, remove it and customize it more easily. Why is it inside the shell instead? Btw, do you want me to ask in olpc-sur how people already using 8.2 would like the clock to look like?
