Ok, I read that brcm does not support those. Only wayland-egl provides window decorations atm. Not always easy to see which info is out of date. I found that at least at one point wayland-egl was not working on RPi.

Yes, it is.

I'm not very up to date with the status of EGL and RPi, but the last
thing i heard is that it doesn't really work yet.

How are you starting analogclock? Being a QtWidgets example it doesn't
need OpenGL to run, so it should work ok, with decorations. Are you
using the wayland-egl platform, or wayland-brcm? If so use just
'wayland'.
