Oops - the i18n work here was done on Solaris, in which %C depends on whether
you are in standards-conformance mode or not:
Default
%C Locale's date and time representation as produced by
date(1).
Standard conforming
%C Century number (the year divided by 100 and truncated
to an integer as a decimal number [1,99]); single
digits are preceded by 0; see standards(5).
and when I contributed the work done by our i18n group back to Xorg I didn't
notice that we'd used the Solaris-only meaning. I'll fix this.

"xclock -digital" pops up a window showing "20". It's the first two digits of the year, that is, 19 if I set back the clock to 1999. Not really usable as a clock :-) In Clock.c the format string passed to strftime is initialized to "%C" with upper-case C. According to my strftime manpage: %c The preferred date and time representation for the current locale. %C The century number (year/100) as a 2-digit integer. (SU) So to fix the problem all you need to do is replace "%C" with "%c" (lower-case c) in Clock.c. There are two instances of this string in Clock.c, the first is inside a comment, and the next one is in the real source. (Sorry, it's too late in the evening and I'm too lazy now to send such a trivial patch.)
