Note that Fvwm doesn't have a default theme that includes xclock that must be something your distro supplies. xclock understands the regular xresources, either from the command line or in the xrdb database: To place xclock in the lower right: xterm -geom -0-0 Or in your xresources: xclock*geometry: -0-0 -- Dan Espen
