Well. As I explained it to Jasper. This is not really a bug. In fact
when the clock is created, the default mode set is
XFCE_CLOCK_ANALOG. 

When I create my clock, the default mode is set and I
check for the mode to know wether I want the frame or not. The problem
is that the user settings may overwrite the default mode. As I only test
for that at creation and when the config dialog checkbox changed, the
frame is not shown at startup.

In fact the trick is to check just after we load the user settings. This
is fixed for me but I didn't commit it yet.

Fixed and I'd commit it tonight with the display bug fixed (normally).

I don't have this bug so I can't comment on it. Sorry :)

Yes please do so. I also will try to investigate on it but can't promise
anything as for instance nothing has happened here.
