What I did was write a script (WOW! my first script! Please point out to me what I could have done better, but it works Rolling Eyes ) that sleeps for 5 seconds to allow the window manager to load then moves the cursor a few pixels and left clicks the mouse. I edited /usr/sbin/fixwidgets to point it to the script and viola!
Yes, clock appears like magic.....
Hmmmmm, this fix is buggy if you move the cursor directly after hitting 'apply'. Problem is that if the fake mouse click happens over the open window near the edge next time you move the cursor the window resizes!
Or, the cursor may end up over an icon and initiate that process!
Ok, what I need to do is find a vacant piece of real estate on the desktop and make sure the mouse click is generated there and nowhere else.
I cand send the cursor to an extreme edge or corner (I'm thinking top left) and make the click there. To make it look professional though I should send the cursor back to the centre of the screen. Will work on this and reupload a new script.
After I get this fix right I'll take a closer look at xonclock to find the bug and make a permanent fix.
