OK. I wonder however, if it's really needed in the Deskbar. Normally
this is a one time setting: People changing from English locale to
another have do that from the Locale prefs. And while they're there,
they also set the 12/24 hour format and probably never touch it again.
I also wonder who'd need the timezone displayed in their clock.

That bug shouldn't be inherent to using a checkbox.

I still have to look through the settings and grok what 17:56:17 or 17:
56:16 CEST means. Not a big mystery, but still not as plain English as
"Show seconds" under the "Clock" heading.
Personally, I'd find a "Show date" and "Show day" options much more
useful than showing seconds and timezone. If I need to time something
to the second, a stop watch app should be more convenient. :)
