You should be able to kill it off by putting the appropriate kill
command in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup, which is run as root. For
example, save the PID when you start the clock, and put

kill `cat $pidfile` 

in Xstartup.  You may have to enable the use of the Xstartup script in
your xdm-config file -- I think it is commented out by default, in
Slackware. You just put a line like

DisplayManager*startup:		/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup

in the xdm-config.
