How do I make xclock appear on a certain part of my screen ? ..


Hi. Kinda new. I read man xclock but can't find out how to make xclock appear on a certain part of the screen when I launch it ( like upper right corner of my screen, lower left, etc ) . I am using windowmaker and
I know there is already a clock but I kinda like xclock and was just wondering how to do this.

hi
Windowmaker self takes care of that;
Launch xclock from an xterm, dock it as a clip (drag
the icon leftunder to the dock)
Drag your xclock where you want it. Right clicking the
running xclock u can change some settings.
So adjust the xclock as you wish (hide title or
omnipresent for inst.)
Go to the docked clip choose clipoptions, apply autohide
Close your windowmaker session make sure the "save
workspacestate" is marked. When you fire it up again the
xclock should appear where it was.
check /home/yourself/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState
look for Application section name=xclock.XClock;
-->>Geometry="164x164+11115+0"; <-- (for 1280x1024)
enjoy
