OK, that's what I wanted to hear. It's a nice applet indeed.

I use "watch date" in an rxvt now:
*FvwmButtons: (1x1+11 Swallow(UseOld,NoHints) "Clock Applet" `Exec exec
rxvt -bg grey35 -fg black -cr grey35 +sb -geometry 8x4 -T "Clock
Applet" -e watch --no-title -n 1 'date +"%T%n%e. %b. %Y"'`)
This way, of course, I can only use a digital display. But I prefer that
anyways.
