Hi all, first post here . . . just made the switch from Ubuntu 10.04 to Arch, and so far I'm loving it. All the major wrinkles have been ironed out, and I'm just trying to clear up some warts now.
So I'm running Conky as a transparent window on my desktop, but it's not doing too well. First of all, despite having a refresh rate of 1 second in my .conkyrc, it only refreshes every 3-4 seconds.
Second, when I move another window over Conky, then move it away, The part of Conky that had been covered is gone until the next refresh, usually 2-3 seconds. The background image is still there, just not Conky's text.
And everything worked perfectly under Ubuntu (also Gnome) . . . same .conkyrc, same everything.
Thanks folks!
