Oh, in `xwem-tray-config' string is path to executable.  Some time
ago(and still in nongnu cvs repositary), here was some additional dock
applications written in C.  time shower(replaced by xwem-time), apm
status shower, launcher etc.  And `xwem-tray-config' was the place
where you specify path to them.

I think date support can be added to xwem-time, customizable variable
like `display-time-day-and-date'.

I've got such errors sometimes too, their roots at `default-directory'
function, which returns non-string sometimes.
