Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-
This happens to me on an up-to-date installation of hardy alpha 5.
After closing the "Adjust Date & Time"-window by clicking on the "x"-button (the usual close-button that's on the top right corner of every window), it cannot be opened again. I have to log out and in again, before I am able to get the "Adjust Date & Time"-window again.
If closed by clicking "cancel" or "set system time" everything is fine.
Note: I am referring to the "Adjust Date & Time"-window you get when right clicking on the Clock-applet and select "Adjust Date & Time". I am NOT referring to the time-admin application you get when you select System -> Administration -> Time and Date. That is a different one.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Right-click on the Clock applet and select "Adjust Date & Time"
2. Close it by clicking on the "x"-button in the top right corner. (Closing it any other way does not trigger the bug)
3. Repeat step no. 1 and see that nothing happens (a.k.a no window opens)
Current workaround: Log out and log back in

Confirmed, I also experience this problem with an up-to-date version of hardy. Another way to remedy the problem is restarting the applet by removing it from the panel and re-adding it.
Also, I believe gnome-panel is a more appropriate package for this bug. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
