Package: conky-std Version: 1.8.1-1 Severity: normal Hi and thanks again for adopting conky!
I think I noticed a regression of conky-std/1.8.x with respect to the old conky/1.7.x versions. Since I began using conky-std/1.8.x (first a locally rebuilt modification of conky-std/1.8.0-1.1, with disabled nvidia support for conky-all, so that I could rebuild the package inside my main-only sid chroot, see bug #579102 ; now, thanks to you, just conky-std/1.8.1-1 from sid main), I have often (but not always, unfortunately) experienced an annoying bug. Let me explain. I use Fluxbox and I start a number of programs from my ~/.xsession file. Among the others, I start conky with the following .xsession line: conky This used to work fine with the old conky/1.7.x versions. Now, with conky-std/1.8.x, I often see that conky fails to show up, when I start a Fluxbox session (with startx). Indeed, as soon as I check with $ ps aux | grep conky I find out that conky is not running at all. And I see the following error message in my ~/.xsession-errors /home/$MYUSERNAME/.xsession: line 15: 1952 Alarm clock conky After these checks, I start an xterm and I manually issue the following command: $ conky This seems to always start conky, without any glitch. I seem to experience this bug more often, if I start a Fluxbox session soon after booting the box, much less often, if I start a Fluxbox session on a box which already has a long uptime. I am not sure of this correlation, though. What's wrong? Is there anything I failed to understand? Should I change anything to adapt to the new conky-std/1.8.x ?
