Mixed results. After removing the Date/Time applet, the panel comes up
MUCH more quickly and is fully populated. Much better.  But I have also
notices that when I try to add an applet (putting the date/time back),
there was a delay exactly 25 seconds before the "Add to panel" window
came up. During that time, the portion of the pop-up menu that was in
the panel remained until the window came up.

While the Date/Time applet is tickling this bug, I suspect that it's a
panel issue and that other things are hitting the same issue, even when
the date/time applet is not loaded.
