Hi Ben,

I don't think the org-clock-sum function does what you think/want it to
do.  The docstring says it sets text properties on the headline - so I
don't think it is intended to update a CLOCKSUM property in the
headings.

These text properties are temporary (ie. not saved in the org file) and
I think these are used by the column view overlays for display-only.

The org-invoice.el contributed file created by Peter Jones uses a
CLOCKSUM property but I'm not sure if this is intended to be updated
manually or automatically from the clocking lines in org.  I've CC-ed
Peter in case he can shed any light on this.

Regards,
Bernt
