I assume you didn't have that issue in 12.2...

Yes, this is new. With 12.2 I did not see this with uptimes of two three weeks even.

To me, it sounds like an issue either in one library used by gnome-panel or in the new clock applet code. Could you possibly provide a valgrind log?

How can I do so? Online I found https://live.gnome.org/MemoryReduction/Tools/GetValgrindInToughPlaces but that does not work in GNOME 3.6 any more (g-s-delete does not exist, g-s-p looks differently).

For the time being, a workaround is to stop using locations in the clock applet.

Another is to simply `pkill gnome-panel` once a day. That will restart the panel and seems to work just fine. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
