I think the part you're missing is a few lines below the creation of the label:
update_label(self, NULL); gtk_widget_set_visible(GTK_WIDGET (self->priv->label), self->priv->show_clock); So even if the value was set before the label was created (which is most likely true) the label would be hidden when it was created. A more likely scenario is that one of the callbacks to actually set the label to the time is failing. Hoping that the output of the loader will give some clues as to where/why. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835297 Title: Time not being shown, substituted by the word "Time"" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/835297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
