I've never tried the TkSteal extension. You'll have to look in the Tcl
resource pages or the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup FAQ, etc. My understanding
is that it will embed _any_ apps window. BTW, the xswallow browser plugin
(for Netscape anyway) works much the same way.
Two other alternatives, both from Brent Welch's book "Practical
Programming in Tcl and Tk" (get the second edition):
1) he has complete C code for a digital clock widget.
2) use the tcl clock command with the tcl after command (for example,
every second) and simply update the textvariable for an entry
widget and you've got a clock widget in just a few lines of Tcl.
