Steps to trigger: install, reboot, configure timezone, shutdown (leave it that way for a day or so) and... tada! There it is! Anyway, one of these days, I'm going to reinstall the machine on which I have the problem (looking for a 10+ GiB disk, because 2+1 GiB just won't cut it: http://users.telen

Yesterday was "one of these days": found myself two "big" SCSI harddisks (4.6GB + 9.1GB) and a matching 53c825-based PCI SCSI card and installed Intrepid Ibex (aka Ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition). Afterwards - i.e. after installing the latest patches - the version of the clock panel turned out to b

Sebastien, In the clock preferences, I first added a location (Gent, in timezone Europe/Brussels). Later, I reentered the clock preferences and edited the location entry (labeled Gent) my (almost) exact coordinates: 51.0854 North, 3.7175 East. I could exit the edit-location pane, but when exitin

Came with the updates tonight (08 april 2008), and indeed seems to solve the problem. I removed, recreated, edited,... my location and latitude/longitude, but could not force a crash. Congrats and thanks. (Sebastien, you may mark this problem as solved - I do not seem to be authorized to do this)

Sebastien, Sorry for the delay in answering. My /etc/timezone file just contains the line "Europe/Brussels" (the timezone I selected at install time, I suppose). And yes, tonight the timezone in the locations was yet again reset to America/El Salvador. Spooky. I'm currently installing the update

After booting up my PC tonight, the timezone was once more reset to America/El Savador (applet version 2.22.1.3). Reset it to Europe/Brussels, restarted - and back to El Salvador we go 8-( Seems like the applet does not save the set timezone correctly and/or cannot (re)determine it from /etc/time

To check this, I had to recover the computer exhibiting this problem from - ahem - cold storage. First boot showed the timezone to be "America/El Salvador" again - I reset it to "Europe/Brussels". I then proceeded to install 350+ updates (about 4 months worth) - I noticed that gnome-applets was
