Hi guys,
Sorry for the inconvenience of two separate plugins, but that is how I had to do it to achieve the effect I was after. There is a chance in the next version that it will only have one entry you have to add to the statusbar. This depends on an answer from Nokia about a DBUS method that has been broken in OS2008 that makes it so I cannot use this method.
If I get a response about a fix or a workaround I will attempt to make the next version improved by only having the one configuration entry, which will also have the positive effect of having the whole clock load in the statusbar on install (this has been a problem for a lot of people).
For anyone interested, the technical problem is this: in OS2007 there was a DBUS interface called "com.nokia.statusbar" that had a signal "event" that allowed you to load or unload a plugin over DBUS. In OS2008 the code for hildon-desktop still uses this interface, but the interface itself does not get registered by anything, so it does nothing. There is a different interface called "org.hildon.Statusbar" but this does noth have a method for loading or unloading.
