Thanks, Christoph. I have now subscribed to the lxde fedora mailing
list.
Edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and change the line that reads
or remove it completely. Instead add a line for xplanet
@xplanet
I have also added
@oclock -geometry -0+0 -tr -fg red -bd red -jewel red
to get the oclock autostarted there (and it works). However, I would
like to add this clock on all my desktops as well as without the
border. Do you know how I can do this using the autostarted feature?
It is a bit of a bother to actually have to go and click the bar at the
top of the oclock each time.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

Look into .config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml. If the file does not exist, you
need to copy over /usr/share/lxde/openbox/rc.xml to that location.
At the end of the file you will find the window matching rules. Add a
new one for xclock:
<application name="xclock" class="XClock">
<decor>no</decor>
<shade>no</shade>
<position>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<monitor>1</monitor>
</position>
<focus>no</focus>
<desktop>all</desktop>
<layer>normal</layer>
<iconic>no</iconic>
<skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>
<desktop>all</desktop> is the option you are looking for. You can also
leave out the options that you already pass to xclock at the command
line such as position.

Dear Christoph,
Thanks very much for your e-mail and your suggestions! However, I have

<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>
<desktop>all</desktop> is the option you are looking for. You can also
leave out the options that you already pass to xclock at the command
line such as position.
The application is called oclock so I replaced the xclock and the
XClock in the above with that. (It did not work otherwise also.)
However, this has no effect on the desktop and other effects that I
wanted.
Could you please try and see if it works for you? I am very perplexed.
Many thanks and best wishes,

XClock in the above with that. (It did not work otherwise also.)

I don't know where you have oclock from, so I cannot look up the values
for you. Please run xclock, then run xprop in a terminal and click on
the xclock window. xprop will return info about the program in the
terminal. The values of WM_CLASS(STRING) match application name and
class in the openbox configuration. Example:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xclock", "XClock"
first argument is name, second is class, so it becomes
<application name="xclock" class="XClock">
Could you please try and see if it works for you? I am very
perplexed.
This is how I get xclock into the top right corner:
<application name="xclock" class="XClock">
<decor>no</decor>
<shade>no</shade>
<position>
<x>-0</x>
<y>0</y>
<monitor>1</monitor>
</position>
<focus>no</focus>
<desktop>all</desktop>
<layer>below</layer>
<iconic>no</iconic>
<skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
<skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
</application>
</applications>
as you see I have changed the position (-1) and the layer (below).
Kind regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
oclock is in xorg-x11-apps in fedora which I think is installed with
the F13 LXDE spin.
Many thanks,

Oops, you are right Ranjan.
When you run xprop on oclock, you will see that the WM_CLASS is
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "oclock", "Clock"
This means the rule needs to start with
<application name="oclock" class="Clock">
And please make sure that the rule is within the <applications> section.

Great, Christoph! It works now like a charm. Many thanks for your
explanations also. This will be a major help for other applications
also!
Best wishes,
