Do you notice that you are creating a new Gtk::Label and placing it into 
your statusbar each time checkTime is called ? This is what causes your 
seg fault.

If you simply want to display the current time in your statusBar, the 
push() and pop() methods do the job. Also, as Jason stated, ctime() adds 
/n at the end of the string, so you might want to remove it.
