My conky version is 1.4.9-r1. When I enlarge FvwmButtons window large enough, for example four times than conky normally required , I can see the conky, but the conky position in the larger window is not predictable, sometimes in the bottom, sometimes higher. My conky is a little complex, not a simple line as I found from the fvwm forum. Here is the the major part of my .conkyrc .....
