Clock in Vertical Panel 160 pixels

There seems to be a problem with the previous attachment.

For the clock to work in a vertical panel, the panel needs to be a reasonable
size.  So, I tried 160 pixels which I use in KDE-3.5.x.

This clearly shows the problems:

There is the AM/PM issue.  It isn't on the same line as the time numbers.

It also appears (in general) that always having the date the "Small" font is
not satisfactory.  The "Small" font being the minimum size for the date (and
time zone) should be one of the constraints used to determine the size.  Here
the font needs to be larger.

The size of the widget is wrong.  It appears to be vertical with a rather large
aspect ratio (height/width).  The clock takes up a lot of the panel space and
there is a large space between the time and the date.

There are clearly issues with Widgets.	It isn't possible for them to be the
same on the desktop, horizontal panel, or vertical panel.  They are going to
have to know which they are on and when on a panel apply size constraints which
are a function of vertical | horizontal.
