You can add another clock applet, and then set the GConf key for gmt_time on that applet: gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/panel/applets/<that_applet>/prefs/gmt_time true (I find the "gconf-editor" package really helpful for mucking around with GConf -- it ends up in your Accessories > System Tools menu and is essentially a slick GUI for gconftool-2.) But I do wish you could add a location for UTC. I haven't looked, but it might be filed as an enhancement request in the upstream bugzilla.gnome.org -- if it's not, you could file one. -- Paul W.
