they are. e keeps backups of all conifg (the last 9 versions). those would be
config FOR the clock module (if it should be digital or analog for example) and
it'll keep config for all of its clocks wherever they are in that file... that
won't get rid of clocks tho. you'll just end up resetting them all to
"default". "i need a clock here - stat!" config is in the main e config file
(e.cfg)

There's a dev who looks after the Debian builds, so he can confirm if what you 
get is expected.

I am not entirely sure.  I've noticed every time you restart e a new file is 
incremented.  Perhaps they are config backups?

You can delete (move) them, restart e and then you could find all these 
multiple clocks are gone.

It doesn't look right, but it's what comes up.

This is a freshly-compiled (this afternoon) copy of e from

This is what I get: the little black config dialog in the middle of the
screen is what appears when I right-click on any of the clock faces.

http://silmaril.ie/screenshots/clock-right-click.png

I had to use GIMP to make the screenshot because while the dialog box is
there, PrtScrn won't bring up the usual screenshotter.

You can see these in the Emacs window in the screenshot.
Why would there be 10 of them and what task do they perform?

Have a look in .e:

find .e -iname *.clock.*

There's a few here under this path:

.e/e/config/standard/module.clock.1.cfg

What you are describing is not right, these should be showing when you click 
the Settings of the clock gadget.

Have a look here for what the right-click button should show:

I just went through every file and directory in ~/.e and there is no
mention anywhere of the analogue clock. But there are three on my
desktop. Does anyone know where their presence is configured?

There is no Remove.

If I right-click on the clockface, I get a dialog which says:

Show Seconds   Off
Date Display   None
Weekend Start  Saturday
Weekend EndSunday
Timezone   System
Background Foreground

(the last two are color selectors).

Did you try Right-Click on the Clock and then Remove?

[e-users] Deleting gadgets from the desktop

[Peter Flynn]

This is puzzling. I wanted a clock on my desktop, so I right-clicked on
the desktop, selected Desktop > Add Gadgets to Desktop and picked Analog
Clock. At that moment, the cursor lost focus (some random background
process stole all the cycles) and I took my finger off the mouse button
and tried again.

Now I have two overlapping clocks in the middle of my desktop. They can
only be moved with Alt-leftclick, and there is no option in any menu to
delete them. How do I get rid of them? Menu > Desktop > Change Gadgets
doesn't work, because it doesn't report Clock being in use.
