I'm running 64-bit Win7. I'm running the "Clock" application that (I
think) comes from (32-bit) XP. I have it set to be "Always on top".
But it frequently gets covered up by other windows. It doesn't
*always* get covered up. But fairly often I'll look for it and it's
been buried.

Is there a way to get this to work properly?

If you still can't get it working try: Stoic Joker's T-Clock 2010.
http://www.stoicjoker.com/TClock/Download.php

It's free, I'm running the 64-bit version, 32-bit & 64-bit are included
in the download. It's configurable and sits in the system tray covering
the existing Windows 7 clock and starts automatically at Windows
startup.

At one time the Gadgets were identified as insecure and it was
recommended to disable and not use them.

I've had no problems with it.

Me neither. Well, a bug or two, but no security problems.

But it remains true that Microsoft, among others, has recommended not to
use Gadgets.

I should add that I am still using several gadgets on my Windows 7
machine, so in fact I don't disagree with you.
