Yes, Affiche is a little bit orphan, I fear.. I don't know if it has a 
repository.

AClock is "salvaged" in GAP and currently on life support.
It has full authors list and for me says last release 0.5.0 and 2019.

AClock for me has no icon at all, you see when you launch it. It only 
has the "running clock" which is unfortunately not displayed.
It should have an Icon and in that case you should see it.
In the InfoPanel what do you see?

Yes, unfortunately it is a limitation of the GWorkspace dock, there is 
no way to retrive the icon. I do not like it... I'd love if there was 
some kind of extension, some kind of way to show in the doc the same
