I found one more important factor to reproduce the problem. The crashes happen only when we declare an automatic proxy script in System --> Preferences --> Network proxy and then apply it system wide.
If we enter a manual proxy configuration information at this place, the clock applet doesn't crash. Well, this may be a workaround, but we would like to be able to use the automatic proxy configuration which is working fine for all other purposes and gives greater flexibility when changes have to be quickly applied to 5000+ workstations. -- gnome-panel clock applet crashes behind a firewall https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669971 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
