Hehe, anyone screaming "overkill"? :)
The applet has four types already, five with my patch. There are surely many 
more clock types someone might want to implement. 24-hour analog, analog 
running counter-clockwise, bar "graphs" for hr and min, talking clock anyone? 
:)
In theory no one needs more than a textual display, maybe speech synthesis 
for accessibility; but looking at how many more or less different clock apps 
there are, this is probably one of the things one just has to have a choice 
about...

Seriously, the different modes all inherit from a pure virtual base class 
already, so factoring them out into shlibs shouldn't be that much of a 
problem, only the settings dialog would need some redesign.
Okay, I'm pretty indifferent on this, maybe someone has a stronger opinion...
