conky screws up my desktop, rawr!

I finally got my openbox desktop themed correctly today and decided to move on to making my conkyrc. I made a very simple one and fired it up to see how it looked. Once I did I lost view of everything except my wallpaper and conky. When i moved my mouse around my other windows would pop up shortly then dissapear again. I believe this might be an issue with my xcompmgr being active but im not sure what to change in order to make them both play nice. Ill list my configs below.

My conkyrc so far:

# Conky configuration
background yes
font sans
uppercase true
color0 1994d1
color1 c7ecfe
default_color ffffff
default_outline_color 8fdafe
default_shade_color 000000
out_to_console no
update_interval 1
total_run_times 0
own_window no
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders yes
stippled_borders 5
border_margin 4
border_width 1
default_color grey
default_shade_color black
default_outline_color black
alignment top_middle
gap_x 2
gap_y 2
no_buffers no
uppercase no
cpu_avg_samples 2
net_avg_samples 2
override_utf8_locale yes
use_spacer none

#Set size of conky window to allow ridiculous offsets ;)
#minimum_size 100 50

TEXT
${color1}$nodename${color} ${color0}${sysname}-${machine} ${kernel}

My autostart.sh

# Run the system-wide support stuff
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART

# Programs to launch at startup
nitrogen --set-scaled /media/vault/Wallpapers/default.jpg &
xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &

# SCIM support (for typing non-english characters)
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
scim -d &

# Programs that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 2 && pypanel) &
pidgin &
xchat &
/etc/rc.d/mpd start &
sonata &

I also have xorg configured with nvidia if it matters. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe try changing the window type to override?
