Same here. Once in a while the clock applet stops updating. Actually it
is not just the clock applet but the whole panel stops updating. For
example, I have this happening right now. I have autohide, visible hide
buttons, half transparent background. Right now the wireless icon is
invisible as well. But I can right click it, and I can interact with all
icons. They just don't update their displays.

I am using Ubuntu Intrepid. Nvidia 6800GS. Athlon XP 2500+. 1 gb ram.
MSI K8neo platinum motherboard. Compiz with all features. Using
metacity, not emerald.

I am not sure, but I guess this problem started after I turned
autohiding on for the panel.

Also, I suspect non-gnome tray icons to cause this problem. Recently I
installed dropbox, which places a systray icon. After that my wireless
icon started to behave weirdly. It sometimes gets invisible. I am
attaching a screenshot. you can clearly "see" the invisible wireless
icon at the left end of the tray. dropbox icon is to the right of it.
notice how the dropbox icon is smaller than the rest of the theme. It
fails to scale nicely along with the rest of the panel.

By the way, right now it is 23:34 here. Notice how the clock stopped
updating a couple hours ago.
