Time In Ubuntu

Seem that I am having an issue with the time display in Ubuntu 10.4

Ever so often the clock will stop. What I have figured out is that a zombie process will show up in the TOP display. When I kill the PPID, I get a message asking if I want to restart CLOCK. When I restart, the time and temp reappear on my task bar and are correct. However; a few hours later (unsure of actually how long) the same thing will happen again.


Any ideas on what may be causing this? Also was wondering if there was a way to track down the parent that launches CLOCK, may be that there is an error in that program that is causing CLOCK to stop.

Thanks for the help

EDIT: Some additional information. I was able to determine what script was causing the problem with HTOP.
Code:
/usr/llib/gnome-panel/clock-applet --oaf-active-iid=OAFIID:GNOME Clockapplet Factory --oaf-ior-fd=19

Not sure if that will help, but I thought i would add this as well.

CLOCK(1)						      General Commands Manual							  CLOCK(1)

NAME
clock - display the time in an icon or window SYNOPSIS
clock AVAILABILITY
This command is available with the OpenWindows environment. For information about installing OpenWindows, refer to the OpenWindows Instal- lation and Start-Up Guide. DESCRIPTION
clock is an OpenWindows XView utility that displays the current time in a window or icon. When the window is open, clock can display the time in either analog or digital format. The clock window is scalable in either format. USAGE
When the clock window is open, it has a floating menu from which you can bring up a property window. From this property sheet, you can modify the display of the tool by selecting either the Analog or Digital choice box. Seconds: On the analog version, this selection starts a second hand on the face of the clock. On the digital version, it adds two dig- its to the digital readout. Date: Turns on a date display for both analog and digital versions of clock. BUGS
If you reset the system time, clock will not reflect the new time until you change its window state from open to icon, or vice versa. To reset the system time, see date (1V). The date display does not go well with the round clock face. Occasionally, when clock is uncovered, the face will be visually corrupted. Use the Refresh button from the frame menu to repair. 11 June 1990 CLOCK(1)
