Package: icewm
Version: 1.5.5+git20190610-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Installed new version of icewm from sid (from 1.4.3.0~pre-20181030-2 to
1.5.5+git20190610-1), and copy the preferences file from /usr/share/icewm/ to
/home/$USER/.icewm. Change some preferences to my own ones (viewing my old
one).

Restart the computer and all ok, but the clock format in the taskbar of icewm
not showing my format preferences, not in the clock itself, and not in the date
tooltip.

Put the preferences file backup of my old icewm in place and restart icewm, the
clock format is ok.

Put a new copy of /usr/share/icewm/preferences in my home, and made the changes
one by one, always restarting icewm. In that maner I view where is the problem.
That is my new preferences file (the important part) that works well:

#  Network device to show status for
# NetworkStatusDevice="[ew]*"
#If here is not a "eth0 wlan0" comented statement
# the clock format in the following 3 preferences fails...
NetworkStatusDevice="enp0s25"

#  Clock Time format (strftime format string)
# TimeFormat="%X"
TimeFormat="%H:%M"

#  Alternate Clock Time format (e.g. for blinking effects)
# TimeFormatAlt=""
TimeFormatAlt="%H:%M"

#  Clock Date format for tooltip (strftime format string)
# DateFormat="%c"
DateFormat="%Yeko %Bren %da, %A"
#DateFormat="%A, %d de %B de %Y"

There is another preference that maybe is related. This is:

#  Task bar clock/APM uses nice pixmapped LCD display (but then it doesn't
display correctly in many languages anymore, e.g. for Japanese and Korean it
works only when a real font is used and not the LEDs
TaskBarClockLeds=0 # 0/1

If I cut the "eth0 wlan0" statement from the above commented part, the clock
format is wrong, the default one, I think.

That's all. I attached you my related /etc/network/interfaces file. I don't use
any network connection tool. This is a desktop PC with only a wired connection.
There are no files in /etc/network/interfaces.d dir.

Attached too the whole /home/$USER/.icewm/preferences file.

Many thanks for maintaining this package. Greetings. Martintxo.
