[SOLVED] KDE4.1.82 gives 20 conkys on "show all windows"

When I use the KDE4 desktop effect that lets me show all open windows (triggered by default by hitting the upper-left corner of the screen with my mouse cursor), I get 20 displays of conky. All the other windows are properly represented, but conky is crazily over-represented.

Actually, this annoying effect has been around for several updates of KDE4.1+, but I'm just now reporting it since it doesn't go away.

I'm posting here since I normally get much better answers from Archers who use KDE than on the KDE forums themselves.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE4.1.82 gives 20 conkys on "show all windows"

- how many instances of conky does

ps aux | grep conky

give?
- in  System settings -> session manager -> on login do you have "restore previous session" checked? If so, each time you log in you will get a new conky (if you have conky in autostarted applications).

That's the problem. Thanks very much. I love it when there's a simple solution, even when it's so obvious I should have caught it myself.

Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.

Sorry, now it's too late! It actually was pretty cool. I suppose if I had let it go on much longer I would have had hundreds and hundreds of conkys on the screen, sort of like the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Maybe if I get bored I'll break it again, then do a screenshot.

Meanwhile, I'll tag this thread "solved".
