How are you setting org-clock-x11idle-program-name? In your init file or
via custom? 

Looking at the code, I would expect that provided
org-clock-x11idle-program-name is set before you load org-clock.el, it
should 'just work'. I think your right in your assumption it is not set
before org-clock.el is loaded. The question is why is org-clock.el being
loaded before you have set the program name?

There are a few possible reasons, depending on whether your setting the
program name with a setq in your init file, setting it via custom and
whether you have altered when custom settings are loaded or where in
your init file you load org.

I would probably just put a (setq org-clock-x11idele-program-name ...)
early in your init file to ensure it is set before org is loaded and all
should then work.
