Comment (by mcs):

 For reference, here is the Vidalia code that handles CLOCK_SKEW events
 (the user-visible messages used are worth looking at if nothing else):

 TorEvents::handleGeneralStatusEvent():
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/vidalia.git/tree/src/torcontrol/TorEvents.cpp#n319

 StatusEventWidget::clockSkewed():
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/vidalia.git/tree/src/vidalia/log/StatusEventWidget.cpp#n355
