I have an official title? :D I upgraded this morning and clocking works fine for me (again in Linux) but I'm on GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of 2008-11-09 on raven, modified by Debian. Org-mode version 6.32 (release_6.32.dirty) I don't currently use the clock resolution functionality but plan to play with it soon. (I currently have no open clock entries except the task I'm clocking right now). -Bernt
