I finally got all three solved: WB background, AmiDock and WBClock.
AmiDock and WBconfig I solved by renaming the original .pref files and then making the changes I wanted. Voila, new .pref files were created to my liking!
As for WBClock, I looked at the files both in the Utility drawer and my copies in the WBStartup drawer and made sure they were all RWED (even the .info files) and then after some fiddling with placing the clock it finally stayed put

Thanks again for your help, you have been of great value to my hair color not being all grey by now hehehehe
