Please describe the problem:
I have a vertical panel placed in the top-right corner of my desktop. The panel
is 48 pixels wide.

The clock is displayed rotated, so the text is vertical instead of horisontal.

It would be nice if the text only was rotated if there wasn't enough room to
display it horisontally, as it is much easier to read.

If that is complicated, perhaps the text could only be rotated if the panel has
the preferences checkbox "Expand" checked (I expect it is usually checke for
panels used for "menubar"-like things and not checked for panels used more
"buttony"-like).

I've looked at the code, but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to do any
of these two things.

Instead I've made a crude and ugly patch, that only rotates the text for panels
with size less than 48. It works for me, but it sure is an ugly hack.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a panel with orientation right (or left). 
2. Make the panel wide (say, 48 pixels).
2. Add a clock-applet to the panel.



Actual results:
The text is displayed vertically. It looks rather silly.

Expected results:
The text displayed horisontally, when there is room enough.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.
