Inexplicable "Record" button in orage clock

[era]

In my XUbuntu 14.04 (updated from 12.04) I have added an orage clock to my panel. When I left-click, it shows the calendar, with a menu "View > Show globaltime" which shows the world clock. If I right-click on one f the clocks to bring up its preferences dialog, it is not wide enough to show all toolbar buttons. Instead, there is a down-arrow on the right on the button toolbar with two entries, "Record" and "Quit".

The "Record" button is completely inexplicable.

Making the window wider reveals the button and hovering over the revealed button (finally!) reveals a tooltip which says "set the timezone of this clock to be local timezone".

I would like to propose two changes:

1. Fix the description of the button when it is not directly visible in the button toolbar
2. Create a less bewildering icon for this action

(Ideally also "3. Don't have button toolbars; they are the spawn of the devil" but I guess this is not the time and the place for GUI policy advocacy.)

(Also, IIRC there used to be a less arcane way to show the world clock; but my panel is wacky after the dist-upgrade, so maybe that's just a local problem here.)

orage is no longer supported and has been dropped from the Debian and Ubuntu archives. Closing out.
