Weird Conky Resizing Thing

So I have 2 conkys set up to start up on startup, but I can't make the bottom one expand to the left on autmoatic startup. It's there but I want it to expand to the left for long mpd filenames. If I start it manually, It expands to my wanted size. Here is the the large conky file

use_xft yes
xftfont cure:size=8
update_interval 1
own_window_colour black
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window yes
double_buffer yes
maximum_width 1680
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
stippled_borders 0
border_margin 5
border_width 1
default_color 42c4d3
alignment top_left
gap_x 430
gap_y 5
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
override_utf8_locale yes
use_spacer yes

TEXT
${time %A}, ${color ffffff}${time %B}${color} ${time %d}${color ffffff}  //  ${color}CPU0:${color ffffff} ${cpu cpu0}% ${color}CPU1:${color ffffff} ${cpu cpu1}%  //  ${color}RAM:${color ffffff} ${mem}  //  ${color}Root: ${color ffffff}${fs_free_perc /}% ${color}Home: ${color ffffff}${fs_free_perc /home}% ${color}Mac: ${color ffffff}${fs_free_perc /mnt/mac}%  //  ${color}Email:${color ffffff} ${execi 300 perl ~/.scripts/gmail.pl n}  //  ${color}Arch:${color ffffff} ${texeci 300 perl ~/.scripts/conky-updates.pl}${color} 
${color}External IP: ${color ffffff}${execi 3600 wget -O - [url]http://ip.tupeux.com[/url] | tail} // ${color}Time:${color ffffff} ${time %R} // ${color}Battery:${color ffffff} ${battery BAT0} // ${color}Signal Strength: ${color ffffff}${wireless_link_bar eth0} 

And here is the malfunctioning one

use_xft yes
xftfont cure:size=8
update_interval 1
own_window_colour black
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window yes
double_buffer yes
maximum_width 800
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
stippled_borders 0
border_margin 5
border_width 1
default_color ffffff
alignment bottom_right
gap_x 16
gap_y 44
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
override_utf8_locale yes
use_spacer right

TEXT
${mpd_smart}
${mpd_status}${alignr}${mpd_elapsed}/${mpd_length}
${color 42c4d3}${mpd_bar 5 1}

Re: Weird Conky Resizing Thing

Maybe its the "maximum_width 800"? Also you can do a minimum_size if you want.
