Getting rid of the compositing manager that I forgot I was
running solves the expose event problem.

Anybody have any great ideas about how to solve the problem of what to
do just before power management dims/blanks the screen, and how we
would want to be notified of that?  I'm not so sure we want to hide
the frame (but if we do, great, no more issues for the clock :)).
