I have the exact same problem with the applet. I sent a message to the 
developers and cc'ed the person responsible for gnome-applets.

I got a message regarding the reciept of the bug report. I didn't get a 
notification that any rsolution has been achieved.

I have this problem since development.

The Application "clock-applet" has quit unexpectedly.

You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it.  Or 
you can restart the application right now.


report below:

Description of the crash:

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. right click on clock-applet
2. select properties
3. receive bug buddy error report

Expected Results:
I expected the properties to be changable to 12 hour format and to show 
the date.

How often does this happen?
since late development installations and again for Fedora Core 2 Test 2.

Additional Information:

I have confirmed that others are seeing the same problem. The 
installation is a clean install.
