I've got the setup listed in the subject, apart from one caveat. I cannot seem to find a way to remove drop shadows from Orage. I'm sure there's some way to make xcompmgr (or all compositing) ignore specific windows, and I'm trying to find that so I can set it for Orage. Another solution would be to lower the 'level' of the orage or raise conky's 'level' so that Orage's shadow doesn't cover up conky. I've attached a picture of what I mean and what specifically I want to get rid of.
Also, one more question, I made a nice login screen that I want to make a theme out of, but SLiM starts in 800x600, so it wouldn't work very well . It uses the top banner of the Arch site, so idk if it's 100% cool to post the background image here, but a mod can delete it if necessary. Anyway, how do I get SLiM to load the proper display size so that this is not a problem? I know my size, but it would be preferable if I could load VMWare-user along with SLiM so that it sets the display size automagically. Only issue is that cmware-user is not suppose to be run as a daemon to my knowledge, and especially not as root.

Not sure if this is entirely what you want, but from the xcompmgr manpage:
-C When -c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on panels and docks.
So try it with a capital C as well?
As for the SLIM question, I don't know, sorry.

I guess you have to make Orage behave like a dock/panel to make the xcompmgr -C option work on Orage. Maybe you can play with openbox application specific settings to achieve that.

mhm, I found *a way* to do it. Made the conky below it a normal window, so it spawns above Orage since it opens later, and casts its own shadow. seems to work so far. Now I just need to figure out how to make a new line in Conky without spawning a [] character in its output.
