I would like to use the Xfce panel "clock" item. Unfortunately, it
is broken:
- If I right-click on the Xfce panel and choose "Panel
Preferences...", the "Panel" dialog appears.
- Selecting Panel -> Items tab, "Clock" appears in the list of
panel items.
- If I select Panel -> Items -> Clock and click the "Edit the
currently selected item" button, the "Clock" dialog appears.
- I then configure Clock as follows:
Time Settings Timezone PST8PDT Appearance Layout
Digital Tooltip format Wednesday 09 August 2017 Clock Options
Format 05:04:55 PM
Once I have made the above settings, but before choosing "Close",
the current time is displayed at the proper location in the Xfce
panel. This is what I want.
- But when I click "Close", the current time disappears from the
panel -- e.g. Clock breaks.
Mine works, but settings look different. I made no changes to clock
properties,
When I open Panel Preferences -> Items -> Clock -> Edit the currently
selected item, the defaults are:
Time Settings
Timezone <blank>
Appearance
Layout Digital
Tooltip format Custom Format
Clock Options
Format Custom Format
yet my field Timezone is blank. Maybe try that?
Failure is the same.
There is an .xfce4-session.verbose-log , though I don't know what
you'll find.
Nothing:

$ find . -name .xfce4-session.verbose-log
./.xfce4-session.verbose-log
2017-08-11 21:43:34 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ grep -i clock .xfce4-session.verbose-log
