What were you doing when the application crashed?
I right-clicked on the date/time display in the top right hand corner of the screen and clicked Adjust Date & Time. This is when the crash occured.

I currently appear to be able to reproduce the bug/crash by repeating the aforementioned action.

Comment 2 ropers 2006-10-29 09:50:17 UTC

The same crash also occurs when I click System -- Administration -- Time and Date.
It also occurs when I manually execute "time-admin" (which vi bar-00d07a9406.desktop tells me is the executable called) from the terminal prompt:

[CODE]
ropers@tranquility:~/Desktop$ time-admin 

** (bug-buddy:8308): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Open Folder
ropers@tranquility:~/Desktop$ 
[/CODE]

I currently have all standard repository updates installed and am still experiencing the bug. The updates that are supposed to fix the issue are not yet available. I understand they are available in CVS HEAD, but they are not yet available to "mere mortals", so your instruction won't won't help users of a standard non-CVS Ubuntu install.
