NetBSD rc4.search.charter.net 11.0_RC4 NetBSD 11.0_RC4 (GENERIC) #0: Tue May 12 04:23:51 UTC 2026  mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
Clock and uxterm in default xdm are drawn overlapping, so only one is visible, because it is in front of the other!
Proposed fix is moving the uxterm 40 pixels down, no other change.
Fix currently tested via editing /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession:

#LGD!!! moved uxterm 40 pixels down to unblock clock!
        #Original command: /usr/X11R7/bin/uxterm &
        #Added: -g +0+40 (before &)
        /usr/X11R7/bin/uxterm -g +0+40 &


Only line with +0+40 is required, rest is comments and undo text.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD with XDM, log into X11.
clock and uxterm overlap!
