I've never seen this issue till this afternoon. When I kill and reload the
applet, I can right click the clock applet
and perform a variety of operations and the applet doesn't crash (or middle
click and move the applet). However a
left-click results in a crash.
I tried: strace -o clockTrace -Ff -tt -p <PIDofapplet> after a reload and
please find the strace attached. I do not use
Evolution, I do have the Compiz eye-candy installed but using metacity at the
moment. I also have VMware running
on the Ubuntu host. When I left-click on the applet and the applet crashes, ps
shows me the following process:
" 6232 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-panel/gnome-clock-applet-
mechanism"
When I connect to that pid via strace, I see the following output before strace
returns in about 30 seconds:
---
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>
) = 0
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 3,
628) = 0 (Timeout)
write(1, "** (process:6232): DEBUG: Exitin"..., 52) = 52
exit_group(1) = ?

The strace attached is for the clock-applet process.
