I like simple floating clock and I hate to have to make remarks about Freeware (Thanks for writing freeware !) but it appears, under Leopard 10.5.1 on a MacBookPro, that this nice clock disturbs the finder. Some Icons don't appear when they should, the trash does not empty, email attachments cannot be seen fast enough and external devices, USB or Firewire disk's Icons are not to be seen on the desktop although they are present in the Finder window. Odd things as I said. All this gets back to normal when nothing is changed except quitting Simple Floating clock through a restart. Nothing dramatic thus but I would love the developer to look into this so that I can install his nice software again.

I can only look into it if you could contact me directly so we can figure out what's going on on your machine. The 'S' in SFC is not just for a simple display; the code itself is quite small and straightforward. There's nothing magical or borderline about it; the interactions you're apparently seeing shouldn't be possible and I can't reproduce anything like them on any machine to which I have access (specifically including one that's a close match for yours).

And I'm not sure at all about your comment about "quitting Simple Floating clock through a restart." You don't need to restart to quit SFC, and if restarting fixes your issues it's not at all clear that SFC is the culprit. It sounds more as if you've got some sort of low-level corruption of your file system.
