OK, I've reduced the height.

That might be a less cluttered solution. At the moment, my theory is that the 
more ideas I throw out the better I'll get at it.

I've attached the differently shaped one here. It's a good way below 800x600. 
I don't think the number of widgets is too bad, perhaps patially because you 
don't have to deal with all of them for any one clock. The disabled ones make 
it fairly obvious at a glance what is applicable...
