Yeah, I tried that but I want two clocks on the panel.  One in my
local time and the other in UTC and I want them next to each other.  I
also want the volume/messaging indicator to the left of the clocks and
the session indicators to the right.  This would look nicer.

Screenshot of what I have now:

So there is no way to add an indicator into the session applet?
