Comment 70 for bug 204775

This same bug occured on my Ubuntu system (8.04). It was gone for a couple of months (weeks?). But now it is back suddenly. I always apply the lates updates to my system.
If I click on the Clock applet, the desktop freezes. It can be solved bij opening a terminal (for instance with Ctrl+Alt+F2), and killing the gnome-panel process. After refreshing the panels on the original desktop everything works fine again.
It seems that one of the most recent updates reintroduced this bug?

If you want more information, please let me know.
