(f28 and Gnome, both up-to-date as of last Thursday, using "dnf upgrade 
--refresh")
I get a 24-hour time when I enter "xclock -d".
I get a 24-hour time when I enter "xclock -d -twentyfour".

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.
