Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Ubuntu version: 8.10
gnome-panel version: 2.24.1-0ubuntu2.1

I noticed a request on the Ubuntu brainstorm site for a fuzzy clock in
Gnome (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6252/) and I wanted one, too.
Attached is a patch to some of the files in gnome-panel's
"applets/clock" directory.  There are two issues I haven't addressed:

1.) Blank space after fuzzy clock text:
This is caused by clock_size_request() ignoring requests to resize to smaller 
dimensions than are currently used by the clock. As the source mentions, this 
prevents a jumping clock when a proportional font is used. If you'd like the 
clock to resize, just add "cd->format == CLOCK_FORMAT_FUZZY_HOUR || cd->format 
== CLOCK_FORMAT_FUZZY_DAY ||" to the start of the conditions of the two if 
statements in that function.

2.) Internationalization:
The text strings used in the fuzzy clocks need to be translated.

I also tweaked the patch so it applies cleanly against Karmic's version
of gnome-panel (2.27.92-0ubuntu4), but I can submit that in a separate
bug report, if preferred.
