So I'm trying to understand what you're saying. Are you saying that Aaron
is wrong? (Doesn't seem likely, since he's pretty much the lead developer
on plasma; so it seems more likely that I just don't understand what you're
telling me.)

Basically, I just want nice, simple instructions as to how to change the
size of the clocks in the panel.

They, quite literally, occupy more than 10 times the screen area that is
occupied by the clock on my Windows system (on the same monitor).

The words "subtlety" and "discreet" seem to be alien to KDE4 :-( Everything
is so darned big; I'm trying, one item at a time, to tame them. Not with
tremendous success :-(
