I've finally got XFCE4.8 all dressed up the way I want it to look.
Only problem left is Conky:
1.It simply doesn't show on the desktop.
2.It keeps asking for a password?
If i start conky via terminal i get this:
=========================================================
[sven@myhost ~]$ conky
Conky: desktop window (1400003) is subwindow of root window (15d)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2000001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Password:
=========================================================
My .conkyrc looks like this:
=========================================================
own_window yes
own_window_colour 0F0D0D
use_spacer right
use_xft yes
# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1
# This is the number of times Conky will update before quitting.
# Set to zero to run forever.
total_run_times 0
# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_transparent no
own_window_type override
own_window_hints undecorate,below,skip_taskbar,sticky)
# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes
#colour

Please use tags when pasting code: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code
You have a sudo in there...

Fixed the code tags (sorry)!
If i execute hddtemp without sudo is doesn't work, any way to fix this?
If I comment out the sudo part, conky still doesn't show

You should look at using visudo to make this script run with the hddtemp call...
Ok, thx; I'll look into that.
Now still to solve the first problem....

Comment own_window_hints and change own_window_type to dock
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
