Comment 6 for bug 210470

Sebastien,

In the clock preferences, I first added a location (Gent, in timezone Europe/Brussels).
Later, I reentered the clock preferences and edited the location entry (labeled Gent) my (almost) exact coordinates: 51.0854 North, 3.7175 East.
I could exit the edit-location pane, but when exiting (OK-ing) the changed preferences, the panel did not disappear. It stayed on the desktop.
As I installed Hardy on a rather "slow" machine by todays' standards (dual PII 333MHz), I just continued browsing until, after a minute or so, the top panel
(gnome-panel, I presume) suddenly disappeared and quicky reappeared - with apport notifying me of the crash that had happened.
After the crash-bug-submit, I returned to the clock preferences, only to find an empty list of locations. I immediately tried to reproduce the crash by recreating a location Gent, timezone Europe/Brussels. Closed everything and reentered the preferences, this time to find 2 location entries labeled Gent (!). I removed the second one and went on to edit the first (adding my longitude/latitude). This time around, no crash occurred.

I'm reinstalling Hardy on the machine as I write this (my /var separate partition being way too small and thus not coping too well with the hundreds of updates every week), and I will try to reproduce the problem afterwards - anything I should be on the lookout for?

BTW: thx for the support.
