Conflict between Conky, awesome and compton

Hello,

I have a little conflit between Conky, awesome and compton.
On my conkyrc, I tested every value for "own_window_type" (normal, desktop, dock, panel or override); if I don't want awesome to count conky as a client (thus drawing the little square, see here), I have to set it on "override".
But on this value, compton paints a shadow on conky; the "shadow-exclude" option doesn't work, which seems a "normal" behaviour because even xprop is not able to see the conky's properties.

So is it normal for awesome to need it on override, or is it a bug?
Also, does it mean I must fiddle with my awesome conf to disable the counting for conky? The correct setting for the "shadow-exclude" option can be see here, but I'm not sure if this is what I want.
Thanks.
