  Thanks David! So we moved in the direction of separating the presentation rather than grouping it. I almost wonder if it would make more sense to do the opposite thing group everything into a single applet wherever possible, but allow the presentation to be swapped at will--perhaps even with GHNS-downloadable themes or something. So there would be one clock applet, but it could look like an analog clock, a digital clock, a binary clock, or a fuzzy clock, and you could download a Mickey Mouse clock face, a Star Wars clock face, and so on.
