Heh - see? That's what I meant by 'actually tells the time'.

A *real* worldtime clock (as opposed to the cheap imitations and "just as 
good as" knockoffs they try to sell you on the streetcorners :) is an 
applet that runs on your desktop that shows you the time in selected 
cities all at once.

gworldclock is an example of a *real* worldclock, and actually usable by a 
business guy.

Another nice "fix" would be a tooltip that shows up if you hover over the 
clock icon, that shows you the time in all the cities you have selected.

Having *one* clock that shows you the time in that timezone only when you 
select that timezone is not the same thing. Neither is one where you have 
to hover the cursor over a map to get the time in that place. Usability is 
about useful information *now*, with minimal effort.
