Clock - and stopwatch?

Hi Massimo,

Firstly - what a useful addition the clock is. Much easier to see quickly than the little numbers in the corner of the desktop. I have 2 clocks running so that I can always see one when I scroll the VC.

Would it be possible to have a stopwatch as well? Stop / start /reset buttons would be fine for me but I suppose someone will always want split times!

A small point - the 2 clocks don't quite keep in step. Perhaps installing a second (third etc.) clock on the VC should install just another display and not another instance of the clock code (which I presume is what happens).

Michael, the clock has been done at a very low priority, so I guess you need to live with the non-sync thing for now. They are indipendent widgets that check every second the system time. That's the best poor man code I have been able to write in between many other things.

As for stopwatch, I can add it but, again, at a low priority.
A whole pack of new features are getting added in these days, so the next release will be 4.6.0
