latest versions of the clock

[Kenny Hitt <kenny hittsjunk net>]

Hi.  I've notice I can no longer add a clock to my pannel because it
constantly updates the time.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I
would like to know if my problem is Debian specific or a general Gnome
change.
I'm using Gnome 2.8 from Debian unstable.

Thanks in advance.
