Thanks.  This does the job perfectly!  Is this documented somewhere?  I
did spend quite a bit of time looking in the manual and on Worg but to
no avail.

Given that the default doesn't work in general when using the percentage
formula, it might be a good idea to update the manual to at least point
to this variable?  Maybe something along the attached patch?

Thanks again,
eric

Subject: [PATCH] Make reference to formatting variable for clock table formula
 option

* doc/org.texi (The clock table): The formula percentage option may
not work properly with the default time summary formatting.  The
documentation refers the reader to the variable that may need to be
adjusted.
