This is a known GNOME2 bug. It's been filed on Bugzilla for a while, but the GNOME devs consider it trivial and don't care much about fixing it. It's font-related: the clock applet miscalculates the size of fonts. It has a mechanism to grow the panel if the font is too big to fit the size you've set for the panel, but this misfires on the clock applet for some reason, and it reckons the font is bigger than it actually is. You can verify this by reducing the font size - if you set it to something tiny like 6 the panel will go back to its proper size. It's irritating, but you get used to it after a while :( -- adamw
