Yes, I do exactly this with Solaris CDE, I run 'clock' on my desktop
and set my configuration so that 'clock' has no title bar or anything
and thus is just a rectangular clockface.

BTW is there anything as nice as 'clock' for Linux?  It allows me to
configure it so it has an analogue clockface with the day and date
underneath, I've not seen any other clock which is so neat.

My 'clock' still has a two pixel wide border that allows one to grab
it (with difficulty!) for moving and resizing etc.
