Alas, there is currently no support for positioning the clock when run from
Workbench.  This is an enhancement I hope to make soon.  It should have been
in there for 2.0 but was an oversight on my part (I except the blame!).
You can, however, enter dimensions and positions when running the clock from
the CLI (type Clock ? for the template).  Perhaps you could start the clock
from your startup-sequence.

No, thank me when I add the feature!
