Comment 37 for bug 519583

If anyone's still having trouble with their clock, I may have found a solution. Although I didn't have the moving / unlocking issue, I couldn't add my clock. I got an unhelpful message about an error with OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet. My ~/.xsession-errors log contained:

** (gnome-panel:1521): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1273: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet:
System exception: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred

I found this site, which helped: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/57382-oafiid-gnome_clockapplet.html

Specifically, the last post on that page (from Feb 2) showed that I was missing libedataserver-1.2.so.11. I checked in synaptic, and this had been upgraded to libedataserver-1.2.so.12.

The solution was to `cd /usr/lib` and then run `sudo ln -s libedataserver-1.2.so.12 libedataserver-1.2.so.11`. Hope this helps somebody!
