Jonathan,

I'm using another solution: the system monitor Conky, set up with
various time zones. I can send you a screenshot if you like. You could
configure Conky to show nothing but the time, removing all the other
system information. When I travel, I just modify the config file to
highlight the time zone I'm in...

If you're interested, I can also send you a copy of the clock segment of
the config file I use. 

The Gkrellm system monitor also has a plug-in now that will display
various time zones.

Pete
