You might look at the effect of 'own_window_type' -- I have "normal," you have "override." Since I've only been playing around with conky for a very short time, I haven't looked into what all the options for the various settings mean, or what effect they're supposed to have. Gav, IIRC, mentioned that he had to change 'own_window_type' from "root" to "normal" when he switched from Fluxbox to GNOME. > It may well be a case of systematically commenting out suspect lines > until something works.

You might also consider (if you haven't done this already -- apologies if you have) just copying over the sample from /usr/share/doc/conky/examples and starting with that, just to see if the magic combination of configuration options is buried within. If it is, that would at least give you a .conkyrc that doesn't exhibit the behavior you're trying to tease out. > > Who knows, when I go back perhaps the other problem to do with the mouse > and accessing properties of files via > right click > open properties > may also be fixed too. Perhaps Nautilus is volatile at present. Nautilus is moving to volatile? Whoa ... big changes coming in Squeeze! :-) I am figuring on reinstalling Debian to switch from i686 to amd64 and was pondering whether this would be the time to upgrade to Squeeze. But seeing all the problems Squeeze and Sid users are having lately -- at least, or especially, GNOME users -- I think I'll stick with Lenny for the time being. -- Michael M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
