I think vcstime only runs in the console, not in a terminal like an xterm.
I need to see the clock when remotely logged in.

Depends on what it does. If it can display the time while I'm logged in
remotely and using the terminal (doesn't take over the terminal completely
like 'watch -n1 time'), then OK. Otherwise just running 'watch -n1 time'
does the job for me.
