[SOLVED] Conky / Gnome 3

Hi all

is there any documentation that helps in getting Conky working well with Gnome3? I've used Conky before with #! so just need something that gives pointers for using it in Arch.

Thanks
Rich

conky, afaik, does not depend on the DE or WM to be able to be displayed. So it hardly matters whether you are using Gnome or OpenBox.

One thing I know of

own_window_type override

doesn't work. You have to change it to desktop, dock etc.
