This is a common problem on powerpc ibook's once the NVRAM battery goes
flat.
Apparently this has been discussed with upstream:

You received this bug notification bec
i have spoken by email to the developer of hwclock.
he said he will change Hwclock in the next release to recognize a
negative result from mktime() as invalid, so it will recognize a
pre-1970 value of the hardware clock as an error.
a quicker solution would be putting something in /etc/init.d/hwc

I have a Wallstreet G3 Powerbook with a dead PRAM and my symptomps are
the same as in Bug #38845.
Could this not be fixed by setting some kind of date redefinition in the
init file for GDM that runs at startup. Something like, if date< 1970
then set date to something after 1970.
Just my two noob
For me some of the latest updates for Dapper seem to have fixed this for me and
I now have the issues described in Bug #38845.
I had this same issue in the 5.04 days.
Can anyone else confirm that gnome is now starting as described in
#38845 and not just displaying brown ?

indypende, you should open a different bug for the hwclock.sh issue
different packages may have different maintainers and it's better to use
the right place and talk to the right people to get something fixed

I can't access the gnome session in ubuntu (Ubuntu Dapper PPC on powerbook G4)
for a bonobo-activation-server fail! I discover that this problem is generated
by the time and date that are before the date and time of last reboot/shutdown.
This appear when i boot the PB without a network connectio

I can confirm this... starting GNOME with the clock set to 1904 is impossible.
nautilus, gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-panel show an error dialog saying
that they can't register with bonobo and that's it. some months ago there were
no error dialogs but nothing happened at all
