Clock Icon
I have a desktop PC running Debian 11.
I have a clock icon on my desktop PC which opens on reboot and then remains on the top right of the screen all the time.
However, for some reason it has moved (not sure how this happened) and is now in the middle of the screen under my browser windows (so not visible).
I would like to move the clock, but can't seem to move it with my mouse - none of the buttons when pressed and held down move it and right clicking doesn't do anything either.
Can anyone help, please ?

Is this KDE? If yes, and the clock is showing time, its a plasmoid. You have to enter edit mode to move, resize, or delete the plasmoid. A right click on an empty part of the desktop should opena menu, and enter edit mode.
If it not KDE, please tell us which desktop.

I have never used TWM. There is nothing more I can help you with. Hopefully someone will see this thread thatcan help.

It's long shot, but try using ALT-left click and hold to move the clock.
If the clock does not have a title bar to grab with a left-click and hold, that command should grab the application window itself so you can move it.
