Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
At start-up, the clock-applet display the current time, but it freezes at this stage: no more update is shown. If I add one more clock-applet to the gnome-panel, it opens with the up-to-date time, and it also freezes without more updates.
This behaviour begun after upgrading to Lucid.
I suppose it is a bug.
Many thanks for Your help.

Thanks for reporting this bug!
I experience a similar problem with my clock. I wonder if my issue is the same as yours. Could you please provide more information about your problem?
When you move your mouse or press a key on the keyboard, does the clock unfreeze and start going again?
Is the clock slow compared to some correct clock outside your computer? You mentioned you could briefly see the current time by adding another clock applet to the panel. Does that applet show the exact time at the moment when it is added?
Open a terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) and run a 'date' command. You can run it several times. Does it display the correct time?
