Comment 26 for bug 342980

My machine still exhibits this issue with all panel widgets (including clock, weather, cpu monitors, etc) ceasing to update. Usually, but not always, stops sometime while the screensaver (simple blanking) is active.

Ubuntu 10.10, x86_64 w/ 2.6.37-020637-generic
"Force synchronization between X and GLX" is on but doesn't seem to have any effect.

The only thing I see in the logs that is obviously suspicious is that there is some NTP state changing a bit before the time the panel clock freezes at. Kicking NTP actually seems to restart the panel.
