I am using Epoch 4.2, but I am using the version of "time.el" from GNU Emacs
18.55 (?) that relies on the old "loadst" program.  (I don't know if my problem
occurs when one uses the current version of "time.el".  If it doesn't, I'd like
to know.)

I have noticed that when Epoch is sitting idle (i.e., I'm not typing at it and
not changing X screen focus), only the selected window's modeline is updated to
display the correct time.  Actually, the behavior appears to be slightly more
complicated: When sitting idle, the selected window's modeline tracks the
current time and all of the other modelines are always one update behind!  As
soon as Epoch receives some event (even just gaining or losing the X keyboard
focus), then all of the window modelines suddenly update to display the correct
time.

Yes, yes, such a minor bug.  Maybe that means that it's easily fixed :-).
