so, i used to have a redhat(5.1) machine, and when i had this machine, i used
xdaliclock as my root window, and it funtioned fine.

now i have moved to netbsd/athena and when i run xdaliclock -root i get:

tibbetts@ten-cent-crack-whore.mit.edu:ttyp1 20:25
~> xdaliclock -root
X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Serial number of failed request:  107
  Current serial number in output stream:  115

am i using a different version of X? is something more nefarious at work?
near as i can tell, daliclock hasnt changed since '94, so i cant see a minor
version of X being the issue.

thanks

Richard
