Analog desktop clock option disappeared in Leopard

The option to have a semi-transparent floating desktop clock seems to have disappeared in Leopard... Clicking on the purple ? in the Date/Time Preferences states: "To see a clock in the menu bar or on the desktop, select Show the date and time. Choose options for how the date and time are displayed. Your changes take effect immediately so you can see the results." No such option exists.

*Alas, a shortcoming found with the two freebies!*

*After a short trial I have discovered that neither clock works across Spaces.*

That'd be due to a bug in Spaces. It's got apparently-unintended special behavior for floating windows. I'm told it's being actively researched. Hopefully they'll fix it soon and then SFC and the other program to which Sarah pointed will just magically start working.
