I already thought about that solution, and using -title should
be possible (as it is with oclock) to simulate a caption for
that clock.
Basically, intclock is quite fine, but I prefer round clocks,
all controllable as ONE window; I already thought about merging
intclock with xclock (and looking at oclock), but going with
multiple xclocks will be fine, too.
You could even set the xclock(s) nicely side by side by using
the -geometry flag as in:
env TZ=$TIMEZONE xclock -geometry ${WIDTH}x${HEIGHT}+${XOFF}+${YOFF}
I suggest to keep WIDTH, HEIGHT and YOFF constant, and
to increment XOFF by $WIDTH plus some small constant for
every new timezone (use 'expr' to do arithmetic). This way,
you get them all arrayed side by side.
Right, I've been playing with -geometry for many years now in
order to place certain little windows (without titlebar and all
the stuff) into the lower left corner of my display: xbiff,
xclock, xlogo, xload, xmbmon, and finally an xterm, so they are
nicely placed.

Obviously, the trailing '' is missing:
