Hi John!

How about breaking out the Clock settings into it's own window and
remove it from Deskbar? This would also save some awkwardness when
somebody replaces his Clock replicant in the Deskbar, I guess.

We could do away with it completely, if left-clicking the clock
wouldn't open the calendar, but cycle through various display options
on ever click: default, with seconds, with day-of-week and date in a
seperate line. I think I remember that being the case in the past..

Timezone information could be put into the tooltip. I still believe
it's not information needed with every glance at the clock.

Since I can imagine that English speaking folks rarely open the Locale
prefs (maybe "Locale" isn't that good a name? "Language & Formatting"
perhaps?), having the 12/24 hour setting additionally in the Time prefs
("Time & Date"?) wouldn't hurt.
