I get a 24-hour time when I enter "xclock -d".

On my F29, it doesn't.

The xclock man page lists the "-strftime" option for specifying digital date-time format, and says 
"This option allows an strftime(3) format string to be specified for the digital clock's display.". 
 So I would think it would it would interpret the "%n" specifier as does strftime.  Apparently, my 
thinking is wrong.  I thought xclock was calling strftime.  Apparently not, or maybe it does not know what to 
do with a part of what strftime returns.

I'm sure it does call strftime. But whatever it's using to render the resulting string doesn't know to treat a newline in a special way. It just renders the glyph instead.
