  Just a quick update:

  When I restart those applications they seem to run ok for about
  5 or 6 seconds, then freeze. The asclock applet takes a jump
  forward of about 1h 10min.

  In fact, everything else seems to run normally.
  Very peculiar, mama...

  Correction: it's also triggered by using the command line
  interface (e.g. scanimage > /dev/null). I've got a second X
  server running on the machine (for my wife), it is affected in
  the same way.

  I wish I could find an affected non-GUI application, just to
  rule out an XFree v4.0 bug.

  Does anybody know what timers (other than per-application) are
  running in the system and how to check whether they are ok?

  I has to be something that affects:
  - X screen savers, DPMS, asclock, gkrellm
  but does not affect:
  - xlock, oclock, date, watch, top and the like.
