Funny, I just installed conky and it works fine (using GNOME/Metacity on Debian Lenny). I haven't rebooted or logged out of GNOME since I did it, so maybe the problems you describe will surface when I try that. The default .conkyrc was setup like so (and I'm pretty sure I didn't change any of these, except to comment out the "own_window_colour" property): # Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus) own_window yes # If own_window is yes, you may use type normal, desktop or override own_window_type normal # Use pseudo transparency with own_window? own_window_transparent yes # If own_window_transparent is set to no, you can set the background colour here #own_window_colour hotpink # If own_window is yes, these window manager hints may be used own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager # Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone) double_buffer yes The window appears transparent, with no title bar or window decorations. -- Michael M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
