Hi fiferboy,
Thanks for the applet, keep up the good work...
...How about combining this with your previous brightness/volumne applet and add a bar graph above (brightness) and below (volume) the time. This you'll get all the functionality in a single applet.

Once I post the source somewhere it will probably be much easier for someone who has written a useful plugin to add clock functionality. It is extremely simple code.

I didn't mean to turn this into an editor flamewar! 
I will check out Joe (stylus friendly has me curious) but I usually use vi for small files on the tablet or quick programming on a Linux desktop.

I updated the first post to include a link to the source code (please let me know if you see any problems or potential memory leaks! I am always a little bit hazy on when GTK needs me to free something manually and when it does it itself)
The source is here:

Also, joe relies heavily on ^K (as a command prefix). With an N810, or a BT keyboard, you're fine, but on an N800 you need a solution for that. I defined an F2 key in the xterm toolbar. Then I changed .joerc so that all the ^K commands could also be used with .k2 (termcap for F2), allowing F2 X for save and exit, instead of ^K X.

I'd still like to combine the clock with some other functionality if I were to give up so much valuable space... Possibly a Bluetooth switch.

One suggestion: it would be nice if clicking the icon (well either one in this case) would launch the clock.
Like many people, I don't keep the clock applet on, and the worst part of that is that it makes setting an alarm a bit of a pain (set clock applet on, set alarm, set applet off).

If anyone knows the command to launch the clock, it would save me some digging.
What goes for "vi".. never
But thanks it works now
