xonclock-0.0.7.9 README file
About
xonclock is X on-screen analog clock displayer with assignable skins. Originally the program was written to work under the Window Maker 0.91.0 windows manager. If you are planning to use xonclock under different windows manager you should read documentation supplied with the windows manager distributive. For example with KDE 3.2.1 the xonclock should be started with "--no-winredirect" option otherwise it'll never appear. More over, KDE and other uses its own placement policy so even the program will request windows manager to place the window in specified area the manager may ignore it. For example using xonclock with KDE 3.2.1 you should set placement policy to "Zero-Cornered". If you are using the manager which creates a few virtual desktops (workspaces) it is great likelihood that xonclock need to being started with "--no-winredirect" option otherwise it will be shown on every desktop (I think ;).
I'm not the Linux programming guru so if you've found a bug don't swear at me but better fix it and give me a patch ;).
