   Surely you don't want the screen saver to put the screen back up every
   time the clock ticks in a window.  

If I remember the story correctly from one of the X developers (Tony
Della Fera??), xclock was originally written for just that purpose..
so that the screen saver wouldn't keep blanking the screen when the
display was sitting in the background at a trade show.
