makes sense ...

sure thing :) send it to the list or post it on reviewboard.kde.org (though if 
it doesn't apply cleanly, reviewboard will have problems with it; probably 
best to just send it to the list in this case)

yes, a default implementation would make sense here indeed. in fact, if we 
added a setTimeUpdateInterval(int ms) to ClockApplet, then it could be 
replaced quite easily in most cases. it's really just the update interval (and 
how that's controlled/configured) that's the reason this is reimplemented in 
every clock.
