We understand this issue, but don't have a good way of fixing it. There
are two things going on:
* GNOME now specifies X resources to make X toolkit applications match
the gtk theme.
* When the X toolkit sees specifications of the foreground and
background color (either in X resources or on the command line), as well
as a reverse video option, it sets the reverse video bit but does not
flip the specified foreground and background color. This is a
long-standing bug.
Your best option is to start using specified foreground and background
colors when starting xclock, instead of relying on -reverse.
