I would like to add that If I run the clock applet from the command line
I get

marcelo@nostromo2:~$ /usr/lib/gnome-panel/clock-applet
Bus error

the same message as with Evolution. May be both problems are related? I 
forgot to mention that yesterday, besides the upgrade, I shutdown the 
machine in a unclear way by accident, simply pressing the power-off 
button... may be this corrupted something? 

again, any help will be very appreciated

Marcelo
