XFCE Desktop not updating when using conky.

Hello.

I wonder if anyone have this, rather small but for me annoying problem.

I use xfce. I've also put conky up on my desktop. When I login The icons for my trash, home for example is 'distorted' and only way I can remove it is by move the icon around over its misplaced area.

Can it be that conky interfering with the desktop? Conky is added to 'Autostarted applications' in xfce.

Check the screenie below, I've moved other icons but Trash is still looking bad.

EDIT: I also have the problem that when I've adjusted conky, do 'killall conky;conky' to restart it the old view still shows on the desktop.

Re: XFCE Desktop not updating when using conky.

Are you drawing conky to its own created window? To do so you can add the following to your ~/.conkryc

 own_window 1
