clock-applet dies when trying to change prefs

[mgalvin nycap rr com]

The clock-applet is on the panel but when I right click on the time and select preferences it dies and I get a error message pop up that just says "The Application "clock-applet" has quit unexpectedly." It then lets me restart the clock-applet which puts it back on the panel. Then the prosess repeats. I just want to set it to display the full date. Its just keeps dying when seleting Prefeneces...

Anyone else have this prob., a fix?
