Comment 4 for bug 519583

This affects me too. I see the Clock applet in gconf:
josh@coyote:~$ gconftool -R '/apps/panel/applets/applet_7'
 menu_path = applications:/
 launcher_location =
 bonobo_iid = OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet

and here:
josh@coyote:~$ gconftool -R '/apps/panel/general'
 profiles_migrated = false
 enable_program_list = true
 applet_id_list = [applet_0,applet_1,applet_2,applet_3,applet_4,clock_screen0,applet_6]

I don't see applet_7 in the list, and I can't edit applet_id_list either.

I'm probably going about this the wrong way, but I am certainly affected by the lack of a clock, and there's no mouse-based UI to add items to the panel.

I've also tried wiping my .gconf folder and the problem persists. I also tried creating a new, blank user, and the problem exists on this user. I've attached this test user's home folder for your perusal. If there's anything else I can provide, please let me know :)
