Since I upgraded to 12.04 recently I've started to notice this problem.
Namely, indicator-datetime-service was still running at 100% CPU, and
was quickly restarted (with just highter PID) after killing its process.

However, I was puzzled why at the same time some geoclue- related
service also worked? I've found that indicator-datetime package indeed
has a dependency upon: geoclue-yahoo | geoclue-provider. Then I have
started to suspect that the real problem somehow comes from issue with
geoclue - and I was right (in my case).

MY SOLUTION:
I have used aptitude and marked geoclue-yahoo to be uninstalled, then I solved the now missing dependency by marking geoclue-ubuntu-geoip to be installed. After installation geoclue provider was essentially switched. Now I have no more 100% CPU problem, but a usable system instead.

Probably I could have used any other package that is listed in geoclue-provider virtual package, and there are many.
Go figure:
* geoclue-ubuntu-geoip 0.0.2-0ubuntu6
* geoclue-gypsy 0.12.0-1ubuntu4
* geoclue-gsmloc 0.12.0-1ubuntu4
* geoclue-gpsd 0.12.0-1ubuntu4
* geoclue-yahoo 0.12.0-1ubuntu12
* geoclue-skyhook 0.12.0-1ubuntu12
* geoclue-plazes 0.12.0-1ubuntu12
* geoclue-manual 0.12.0-1ubuntu12
* geoclue-localnet 0.12.0-1ubuntu12
* geoclue-hostip 0.12.0-1ubuntu12
* geoclue-geonames 0.12.0-1ubuntu12

Hope this helps.

  Indicator-datetime-service renders 100% CPU usage

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-datetime

  On my laptop "indicator-datetime-service" occasionally make my CPU to
  use 100% of its resources. It does not happen every time I log in to
  Ubuntu, but when it happens, it stays hogging 100% of CPU until I kill
  the process. If it helps, I've noticed in "System Monitor" that there
  are two instances of "indicator-datetime-service" running, but only
  one of them is hogging recourses. So far I was unable to determine
  after what actions/events this bug pups up.

  I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit.
