Conky displays on top in openbox. [Solved]

Probably a dum question, but I have been trying out openbox lately.  But conky when it starts displays on top of everything.  I am coming from fluxbox where it diplays properly on the bottom layer. 

here is my autostart.sh and conkyrc

# Set wallpaper
eval `cat ~/.fehbg`&

cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0_conf ~/.gtkrc-2.0&

## Apps after openbox starts
conky& 
(sleep 2 && pypanel)&

# set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background
background no

cpu_avg_samples 2
net_avg_samples 2

#out_to_console no

# Use Xft?
use_xft yes

# Xft font when Xft is enabled
xftfont snap

own_window_colour 222222

# Text alpha when using Xft
xftalpha 0.8

# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar
own_window_type override

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 120 1

# Draw shades?
draw_shades no

# Draw outlines?
draw_outline no

# Draw borders around text
draw_borders no

# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders no

# border margins
border_margin 1

# border width
border_width 1

# Default colors and also border colors
default_color white
default_shade_color white
default_outline_color white

# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_left
alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right
#alignment top_right

# Gap between borders of screen and text
gap_x 2
gap_y 2

# Add spaces to keep things from moving about?  This only affects certain objects.
use_spacer no

# Subtract file system buffers from used memory?
no_buffers yes

# set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
uppercase no

Try the:
on_bottom yes
option (not tested).

Your problem is the Own_window_type option being 'override', I believe. Set that to 'desktop' and hopefully you'll be good to go. (if not, I can post my .conkyrc here, which works fine in openbox and you can copy the relevant parts of it out)

Changed the option from override to desktop and it works.  Thank you.
