Comment 10 for bug 580735

I have another crash currently and the clock shows another part of the gnome panel instead of the time.
Specifically it shows the date "Sun Jun 13," but truncated because the clock is smaller so it only shows "Jun 13, " and a couple of dots on each side. (see attachment)

I installed debug symbols and tried to do a backtrace, but as i understand it, i have to start gnome-panel with gdb. Since the crash occurs randomly and usually when i am logging in to the system, i don't understand how i am supposed to do that. Also, because the crash occurs randomly i can't "Perform any actions necessary to reproduce the crash."

Do i have to always start gnome-panel with gdb on start-up and keep logging off and on until the crash happens?

Another thing i noticed: The above behaviour occurs only on my box which was upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. All other installations i made (5-6) don't have this problem.
