Sorry to waste everybody's time with this question and figured it out
myself after all. Just needed to review the clock applet source a few
more times. Solution inline.

This was accomplished with a call to gtk_window_set_type_hint(...) like so:
gtk_window_set_type_hint (GTK_WINDOW(window), GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK);

As for the 'hidden' process, it's actually the case that the clock
module was compiled as a shlib and not an exe. I implemented the same
in my code:
// my_code.c
PANEL_APPLET_BONOBO_SHLIB_FACTORY ("OAFIID:my_applet_Factory",
PANEL_TYPE_APPLET,
MY_PANEL_APPLET_DESC,
my_applet_factory,
NULL);
// my Makefile
PKG:=$(shell pkg-config --cflags --libs $(LIBS))
shared:
$(CC) $(PKG) -shared -o $(SHLIB) $(FILES)
