This is what I get when I try to start conky:
[phnx@002 ~]$ conky
Conky: desktop window (1c00049) is subwindow of root window (121)
Conky: window type - desktop
Conky: drawing to created window (0x1800001)
Conky: drawing to single buffer
I have to use Ctrl-C to stop it.
When I try to start conky as root:
[root@002 ~]# conky
No protocol specified
Conky: can't open display: :0
***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :
This program is calling the Imlib call:imlib_context_free();
With the parameter:
context
being NULL. Please fix your program.
[root@002 ~]#
What is going wrong?

Any particular reason why you'd like to run it as root?
I don't know a single instance where that would be necessary or even recommended.

I only ran it as root because I couldn't run it as a user.

The output when run as a user looks just fine?
Conky: drawing to single buffer
is your problem. Read conky's documentation to fix it.

I am using my gentoo desktop configuration in archlinux (xdm + FVWM). I set the root window at the login prompt (conky, root-tail, fvwm-root). To be able to do this, I need conky to be executed as root and I am getting the error message lnx mentioned in the first post. I would very much appreciate any hints. Thanks!
Cheers!

You should start a new thread for this; it is a separate issue.
