It doesn't work for others, either. Also, I do not quite understand
where's the difference. I don't know which process is responsible for
(re-)starting gnome-panel -- but regarding UID, permissions, configfiles
etc it should bear no relevance whether it is started automatically by
<whatever> or manually from an xterm window.
The only difference I can imagine would be some environment being
exported or not when I launch the panel from xterm. But then, why should
this prevent the clock from starting?
As all of this happens in absolute silence, I also can't make out what
is going on.
