Yeah, that gnome worldclock thing is pretty neat. I've written a proposal 
for GSoC on extenders and something like that gnome worldclock should be 
possible with the way I plan to implement extenders if my proposal gets 
chosen. 
Applets should be able to mix different widgets on one extender and of 
course they're all detachable at will. You could even drop detached 
extender items from different sources together in one applet if you want. 
Extenders rock! :)
