Conky in compiz running but invisible

Hi,
I have installed standalone compiz and I'm trying to set up conky with it.
Conky starts just fine, but I cannot see the window at all. It's running, there are no errors being reported, but the window or its content is just not there.
When I Ctrl+C conky in the shell the screen briefly flickers and that's it.
My conky config:

conky.config = {
	alignment = 'top_left',
	background = false,
	cpu_avg_samples = 2,
	gap_x = 660,
	gap_y = 240,
	minimum_width = 600, minimum_height = 600,
	maximum_width = 600,
	net_avg_samples = 2,
	no_buffers = true,
	out_to_console = false,
	out_to_stderr = false,
	extra_newline = false,
	stippled_borders = no,
	own_window = true,
	own_window_type = 'desktop',
	own_window_transparent = true,
	own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
	own_window_argb_visual = true,
	own_window_colour = '#000000',
	own_window_argb_value = 0,
	update_interval = 1,
	uppercase = false,
	use_spacer = 'none',
	use_xft = true,
	show_graph_scale = false,
	show_graph_range = false,
	double_buffer = true,
	override_utf8_locale = true,
	lua_load = '/home/myuser/.config/conky/dots-and-dashes/conky_OPSAT/system_clock.lua',
	lua_draw_hook_pre = 'conky_main',

};

conky.text = '';

When there is own_window_type = 'desktop' there is no window (other settings do not change this situation), and compiz looses focus (it dose not react to keyboard at all, I need to click some icon on a panel (tint2) and then I'm able to use mouse again.
Checked it in Openbox - everything works fine, which means it's compiz problem...

Can I haz help? Thanks!

Re: Conky in compiz running but invisible

I also use conky and compiz and have no problems. And in config conky I have such settings.

conky.config = {
--- Conky settings ---
    update_interval = 1,	
    total_run_times = 0,	
    background = false,
    cpu_avg_samples = 1,
    net_avg_samples = 1,
    double_buffer = true,
    no_buffers  = true,
    
--- Window specifications ---
    own_window = true,
    own_window_type = 'normal',
    own_window_transparent = true,
    own_window_argb_visual = true,
    own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
    --own_window_colour = '#000000',
    maximum_width = 300,
    alignment = 'top_right',
    gap_x = 0,
    gap_y = 0,

--- Graphics settings ---
    draw_shades = false,
    draw_outline = false,
    draw_borders = true,
    draw_graph_borders = true,
    border_width = 0,
    border_inner_margin = 0,
    border_outer_margin = 4,

--- Text settings ---
    override_utf8_locale = true,
    use_xft = true,
    font = 'Bold:size=9',
    xftalpha = 0.5,  
    text_buffer_size = 2048,

--- Color settings ---
    default_color = '#0A960F',
    color0 = '#FFFFFF',
    color1 = '#0998ED',
    color2 = '#C37D0E',
    color3 = '#0EB3C3',

};
