Summary:                    clock ballon text (CVS-HEAD)
Description: 
On placing the mouse over the clock in the panel, the ballon text reads:
Wednesday, -d December 2003

Seems like the string has a typo (-d in stead of %d)

Guess this is a gnu extension to strftime then ... Damn! the info page even
says so. 

Perhaps you know, how would I get unpadded day numbers, i.e 'Dec 3'
instead of 'Dec 03'? Preferably without #ifdef's ;-)

By default C format will not pad. Thus, 
printf ("%s %d","Dec",3);  yields  "Dec 3"
printf ("%s %2d","Dec",3); yields  "Dec  3"
printf ("%s %02d","Dec",3); yields "Dec 03"

But that would have to be within strftime then, which apparently uses %02d
for %d and %2d for %e, and *no* option to get plain %d behaviour.
Maybe you could use a wrapper function which acts on the return of
strftime. Something like using %e for the day field and:

strftime(date,...);
for (i=0;i<strlen(date)-1;i++){
  if (*(date+i)=' ' && *(date+i+1)=' ') 
   g_strchug(date+i+1);
}
