Ok, I've done a changelog entry.  I hope this is what is expected.
(Also fixed a minor bug in original patch and added better documentation
to the new custom variable).

The patch adds options to both org-clock and org-timer regarding how the
current clock/timer is displayed.  Currently they are both displayed in
the mode line.  This is not ideal since if you split your window
horizontally then the mode line becomes quite short so often the clock
is truncated and the timer might not even be visible.

The new options control whether the clock/timer is displayed in the mode
line and/or frame title.  The frame title is usually wasted space for
people running a graphical version of emacs so it is quite useful there
I think.
