Bug description:
  I'm not convinced this isn't already reported or is genuinely in unity
  but I can't think of a search query that will track it down.

  Since upgrading to Oneiric I'm no longer seeing the clock, simply the
  word "Time". I really can't explain it very well so screenshot
  attached.

  I didn't use Unity pre-Oneiric although I did boot into it on at east
  one occassion and think I would have noticed the missing clock. I've
  been through a full set of video drivers for other reasons (nv,
  nouveau, vesa, nvidia-current) without any effect.
