Because tvtwm (and its predecessor, twm), *always* put a window frame (well,
actually a title bar) on any client window unless you tell it otherwise.  On
SHAPE'd windows like oclock, this looks rather silly.  So what you need to
do is put a NoTitle declaration in your tvtwmrc telling which sorts of windows
you don't want title bars put on, like this:
	NoTitle {
		"xeyes"
		"xclock"
		"oclock"
	}
from my .tvtwmrc, which makes sure that the clocks and the xeyes windows
won't be decorated with title bars.
