Adding to previous comment: The issues with geany and gnome-panel first appeared after removal of mono-runtime (removes tomboy and f-spot), removal of evolution (I have no agenda, mono-apps and evolution removed because I never use them)
After last post I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop (draws all mono, evolution etc.), the issue geany persisted. I then completely removed geany and all plugins. Then reinstalled geany and plugins now the issue has gone. I can start geany without gnome-panel crashing. So at one point in time gnome-panel crashed, later - with the same applications - it doesn't crash. I made an strace with and without crash which I can post if anyone is interested - don't know if they show anything useful. I looke at them with a diff viewer and there are only a few actual differences. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740218 Title: gnome-applet clock time freezes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
