Thats interesting, because I was not seeing that for a couple weeks now I think 
(but international settings could effect be different).  I don't recall seeing 
it claim TntlClockApplet couldn't be started, but I was seeing the 'cant start 
do you want to delete it from the panel' dialogs.  It has been working for 
awhile, but I do remember I removed the applet from my panel, killed the 
panel/restarted, and added it again and that might have been when I saw that 
stop failing.
