I would like the window that has my clock displayed to be always on top, so I
can always see the time. It's xdaliclock, currently set transparent, and
borderless, so the numbers are all I see, but I'd really like it to always
rise to the top as well -- not to grab the input focus, of course, just to
stay on top of every other window.

I'm using debian-2.2 with Open Motif-2.1.30 -- I have 2.2 but have not yet
installed it, if that matters.

Any hints?

Yes, what window manager/desktop environment are you using?
This is what is pertinent. Motif isn't.

Oh, sorry, I left that off. mwm -- which is why I mentioned Motif. No
"desktop environment", cde or whatever, just the window manager.
