Hey Matt :) Have you tried playing around with the 'own_window' settings/values? I use the following when running Conky in Xfce: own_window yes own_window_transparent yes own_window_type desktop own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager It looks like the only difference is the value given for 'own_window_type'.
