Bug Description

On an up to date Feisty:

* Rightclick on it and go to Preferences
* Set Clock type to Internet time

The applet makes the whole gnome-panel stop and restart a few times until it's gone for good.

I can confirm this bug, only that I did it with Unix time, don't know if I have to open a new bug report or comment on this.

I confirm Unix time has this bug as well. For the record, the solution to have panel back was "sudo mv /usr/lib/gnome-panel/libclock-applet.so /usr/lib/gnome-panel/libclock-applet.so~" and then remove the applet from the panel.

A bette workaround is probably to just remove the configuation directory as you do not need superuser rights for this.

I changed the title of the bug to make easier for people that have the same problem but with the UNIX time to find the bug.
