           Summary: Don't start the async thread for the system clock until
                    needed

     GNOME version: Unspecified

Most applications never schedule an async clock callback. Accordingly, there's
no need to create a new thread for every system clock and sub-class most of the
time.

Attaching a patch that defers creating the thread until the first async clock
call.
