[dev] wmii - clock issues

THE INFO:

vxp_AT_hades:~$ ls incoming/wmi*
incoming/wmii+ixp-snap20090803.tgz

installed in $HOME/wmii_20090803/

according to ps output, I'm using the following config file:
vxp 4974 0.5 0.1 138556 7564 ? Sl 14:46 1:12 python
/home/vxp/wmii_20090803/etc/wmii/wmiirc

so, I'm attaching /home/vxp/wmii_20090803/etc/wmii/wmiirc.py to this email.

THE PROBLEM:
for some reason, wmII's clock isn't being updated.
load average monitor seems fine, it changes.. but the clock just sits
there and shows the time from when I launched wmii.

I miss a working clock..any ideas?
