ok, after the icon dialog thread, this may sound a little strange but bear 
with me: this should have two tabs on it.

*grin*

there are 11 widgets in 6 different groups, and that's before we even get to 
the type-specific options!

you're also missing the timezones stuff that is in CVS right now.

i would suggest splitting it into three tabs: 

 o General: contains everything in the appearance, show and custom colours 
group boxes. Yes, i know that some of those settings don't apply to all the 
cock styles. who cares. let the user set all of them, the style will just 
ignore those that aren't applicable.

 o Type: Pick a clock type and set the type-specific options here

 o Timezones: just like in CVS

in fact, perhaps using the icon list mode of KDialogBase to make it feel like 
kcontrol a bit would be a good idea. three icons down the left side, each 
with its own page associated with it.

oh, and the "Preferences" item in the clock context menu should be "Configure 
Clock", just like it is in the applet handle menu.
