Title:
  Clock Applet crashes for no reason

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At random times of the day, the clock-applet will stop working.  I
  won't know until I check the time and notice that it is incorrect
  based on another time source (i.e. phone, laptop, etc..)  Running TOP
  I find a zombie process.  I kill the zombie process and an error will
  pop up with the message "CLOCK" has quit unexpectedly and give me two
  options, close or reload the applet.  I can reload, and the applet
  will start up again, but at a random time, will stop and create the
  zombie process again.  I I choose to close the error, the clock-applet
  no longer displays on my panel.  I can through the "ADD TO PANEL"
  dialog add the clock back to the panel and it will start, but within a
  random amount of time will stop again.

  Ubuntu Version: 10.04 LTS

  What is expected to happen: Clock applet should run without a problem.

  What happens instead: Clock applet stops working after a random period
  of time and a reload is required.
