Just an update: if you don't want conky to just "briefly appear after startup and then disappear forever", you should launch it with a line such as: bash -c "sleep 10; conky -c .my-conky-config-file" In other words, conky MUST be started AFTER Nautilus, otherwise it will just get obscured/overdrawn by Nautilus. Good Luck. -- Certifiable Loonix User 481801 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
