I've used the following line in $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc

oclock -geometry +850+600 -fg green -bd blue -transparent &

just below xfcalendar&

This is on a 1024*768 display.  The line could be typed into a terminal 
and messed around with as per the man oclock page.  Change the geometry 
values to put it where you want on the page (man X).

I can't get it to stay on top, unfortunately, and it shows up on the 
taskbar, which I don't particularly like, but it works well enough

And I *know* how to spell.  All mistakes are the
result of accidence and not incompetents.
