Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
From an upgrade to the beta version of Hardy Heron, after upgrade is complete, and system has restarted.
Anytime I click on the new clock in gnome, a box appears around it as if its selected, but it does not display, and almost every function of the top bar freezes up. I cannot click on Applications Places, System, panel icons, but I can click on network manager and tracker.
Also shutdown icon fails as well, yet most times, ctrl+alt+del works in bringing up the shutdown options.
additionally, the lower bar will also stop refreshing itself, it seems that opening and closing items will not make any change to the status of the lower bar, after intlclock has been selected.
I'm not sure what other info to provide, except that I have compiz running, and the nvidia graphics drivers, and this is the amd64 build.
edit: Edited the title to remove reference to amd64.

I'd like to add to my findings. I had tried turning off compiz, and even my nvidia-glx-new driver, and neither fixed the issue.
I found that the only resolution to fix this issue is to right click on the clock and go to preferences, and then set a location.
Once that was accomplished, the temperature and weather icon showed next to the clock, and now clicking on the clock does not cause lockups.
I hope this helps any others that have the same problem, I consider this to still be a bug though, due to the fact that this is an undesired action.
