Bug Description

This bug is maybe related to Bug #1239710, as in comment #34 mentioned I created a new bug report.

After start of my pc the clock in the notification area is missing sometimes. When you kill the indicator-datetime the clock is displaying again:
sudo pkill -9 indicator-date

When this happens the process is still around but it doesn't respond the the dbus calls

indicator-datetime-service seems to do the right thing when it loses its name (exit the process). Maybe it gets stuck in a deadlock and doesn't respond to D-Bus calls anymore?

Can someone please attach a backtrace of the running process when this happens again?
