Cloock applet slowing panel load

[reedk]

When 3 of the 4 users of my machine log in, the top and bottom panels take a long time (~25 seconds) to load. If I remove the clock applet, they load fine. I tried setting a default location for weather in the applet but it does not help. I also noticed that if I re-add the applet, it takes about 25 secs for it to show up on the panel.

This is not looking good.

Thanks realzippy. Your thread and this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/593226?comments=all) lead to a workaround - disabling logins without requiring a password. Disabling passwordless logins also fixed the issues I had with Evolution being unusably slow and the delay in the clock panel applet showing up. Odd.
