Since a few weeks, when starting my xfce session, the datetime plugin in the panel shows with the correct date and time, but it never performs an update. So, even after hours, the plugin still shows my login time. No errors in my .xsession-errors file, no output on the command line if I start the panel from there... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start xfce session 2. take a look at datetime plugin 3. go for coffee 4. take a look at datetime plugin again Actual Results: still shows initial time Expected Results: current time is displayed Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.33-gentoo-r2 x86_64)

Created attachment 238001 [details] Screenshot The attached screenshot shows the datetime plugin next to the output of the "date" command. As you can see, the system time works fine, it's just the datetime plugin that freezes.
Two further observations: * The CPU graph plugin also froze two or three times already * During XFCE startup, the screen flickers several times, giving the impression that some components are started multiple times * After creating a new xfce session, the problem did not occur anymore. My guess therefore is that this might be a session-restart-related issue. I'll continue investigating...
Sorry, not sure what the problem could be.
