Yeah, your change makes not only clock but my whole system totally 
unusable. There's no usable backtrace, because it just loops in update 
signals. It takes 100% cpu and that's because it goes into infinite 
refreshing loop with your patch. From what I see it happens if the 
Kicker is transparent :
1) Kicker starts up, gets the background pixmap,
2) clock is updated, 
3) with your patch the geometry is updated and you send a signal to 
update the layout.
4) kicker goes "hey, my layout changed, i better get a new desktop 
pixmap snapshot'
5) clock is updated,
6) ...
