This is a known bug in the clock applet for Xfce. Last I checked the bug tracker upstream, it hadn't been fixed. I have the same issue. You can't adjust the clock settings without it erasing your format string and making the clock blank. My workaround is to use the orange date/time panel item instead. --John
