Would it be better to have just a very simple clock for tails that does
exactly what we want? Perhaps spec'd as follows:

* Shows time in the boot-configured zone
* Only shows the time, date and timezone (no weather or other fanciness)
* Configurable to show just time or just date, default both.
* [Optional] Have a tool-tip / note that states everything else in Tails
is UTC except for this clock applet?

I'm sure I could cook one up relatively quick and I'd be willing to
maintain it for as long as Tails needs it.
