These problems with Openlook have been around a while now.
I haven't tried it, but possibly removing the -WP from the command line
and giving the application its own iconbox will help.
A while ago I switched from "cm" to "/usr/dt/bin/dtcm" which seems to be
Motif based and doesn't seem to have the same problems.
Here are the X-resources I use to place "dtcm":
! This places dtcm where I like it, using all known screen sizes.
! Basically, -142 pixels off the right edge:
#if ( WIDTH == 1152 ) /* Traditional Sparc */
dtcm*iconX: 1010
#elif ( WIDTH == 1280 ) /* Sparc 21 inch */
dtcm*iconX: 1138
#elif ( WIDTH == 1024 ) /* Exceed in 1024x768 mode */
dtcm*iconX: 882
#else /* I have no idea...guess 800x600 */
dtcm*iconX: 658
#endif
dtcm.iconY: 93
dtcm.geometry: 610x450
There doesn't seem to be a "dtclock" to replace "clock" however.
