These are mwm resources. In your .Xdefaults file, use:
Mwm*XClock.clientDecorations: -all
Mwm*XBiff.clientDecorations: -all

xdt -iconic seems to work ok.

Excuse my answering these questions without the benefit of an RS/6000.
Is xinit a shell script or a binary under AIX 3.1 ? If it's a script
(yech) you can copy it and edit to your hearts desire. If it's the
original xinit binary, you can create a shell script that does all your
startup work for you and type "xinit /bin/sh scriptName". Just make
sure that the last thing in the script doesn't exit, because your X
session will end too.
