Conky vs. xcompmgr [SOLVED]
While using xcompmgr my conky becomes transparent and barely visible. Obviously i don't want this to happen. Solutions?

There's no solutions, this is just how xcompmgr works.
Use the Source, Luke!

Re: Conky vs. xcompmgr [SOLVED]
Through trial and error, this finally worked for me:
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yesOffline

It seems like there isn't. I gave up on this one...

Re: Conky vs. xcompmgr [SOLVED]
hi,
i've tried this, but conky flickers everytime it refreshes.
is there no way to sanely use conky w/ xcompmgr?
Try:
update_interval 1
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window_hints undecorate,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yesI know own_window_hints aren't supposed to be necessary with 'own_window_type desktop' but I left it in and it works. 
EDIT: Ooh, another thought... do you have the double buffer extension enabled in X? ('Load "dbe"' in the Module section of xorg.conf.)
