You seem to have missed the point which is covered in previous comments.  This is not about what is best or appropriate to use when writing so a style manual is not appropriate.  IIUC, the period is not normally used when it follows the time digits.  Since either am/pm or AM/PM is acceptable, there are two questions:

1.  Which is common usage on a digital clock (i.e. an actual physical object)?

2.  Which will be most readable in small sizes?

Based on those considerations, upper case is the best choice for the digital clock widget.  This does not mean that it should be changed in KDELibs.  The change should be made in the digital clock widget.
