xcompmgr problems

Crooksey · 2007-10-26 12:41:51

I was just ran a -Syu a week ago and it seems to have broken xcompmgr.

The program runs fine, giving me all of the transparency, but it makes the windows all dissapear, then re appear, eveyrthing just comes and goes of the screen.

I cant really describe it in a better way, because thats all that happens.

I have tried, uninstalling, removing old packages from the cache, then reinstalling, no luck.

I havent changed any configuration settings at all, has a recent build just broken or somthing?

If you need anymore information, i can post whatever you like.

Well i found that this is a conky error, whenever i run conky i cant run xcompmgr without the display messing up, no idea why:

maybe ask on #conky ...

Crooksey · 2007-11-05 22:25:09

Yeh in the process of doing that now, seems a few people are having similar problems.

sysrq · 2007-11-13 00:06:35

I'm having the same issue, no reports of it on their mailing list from my searches. Maybe report it there and see where that gets us.

Try this conky config. Its makes conky create a seperate windows, along with transparency. I have no problems with this config. Remember the own_window* parameters are important

That works for me, guess that's the workaround to use till they fix it. Thanks!
