Calvin Gaisford and I have been discussing this a few weeks ago and
he'll work on getting the two merged. My preference is to use the
current backend code, and import the intltool UI in the clock. I don't
think it will be really hard, although I don't know how much work this
involves. I'm a bit unsatisfied with the UI, though, since it means
having a lot of information in the popup. So usability input would be
great.

The changes you've made look quite interesting.

Vincent
