Ah yes. Bug.

Workaround: Use the addtime popup menu, you get it with a right-click on
your opponents clock - most-hidden-feature :)

The clock popup gets the right game ID, the addtime menu in the board
menubar does not (stupid error, initialize menu before initializing the
game with the id):

From clock popup:
SENDING 'addtime 120 1'

From menu:
SENDING 'addtime 0 10'

The syntax 'addtime <gameid> <time>' is correct. If you play a single game
only, 'addtime <time>' works, too, but gGo sends all commands with
multi-game support, otherwise too much hassle to decide which format to use.

Will be fixed for next release. Thanks for the hint.
