conky disappears

my conky seems to disappear every few minutes which seems to correspond to when it runs either the gmail or weather script that I use. Conky reappears when gmail or weather is checked. Is there any solution to this?

Re: conky disappears

It is a problem with refreshing information when a script is running inside conky.
If the running script takes long to return the data conky freezes while waiting for the data. I've seen it with a script I wrote and the only solution I had was to have my program fetch the data first and then update conky. You may not have such option, since you do not control the GMail application.
