[Solved] Conky delay problem with Openbox

HI, I'm having problems with conky autostarting correctly. I added 'conky &' to autostart.sh. It worked but not properly. It seems that it was starting too early. I changed the entry to read 'sleep 30 && conky'. That made conky start properly but it interfered with something else, I had no mouse cursor, no right-click capability and windows had no title bar. Alt-F2 didn't work and holding Alt to move windows didn't work either. How can I get my conky to autostart without causing other problems. Thanks for your time.

I don't have any autostart.sh (lxde) so it's in the .xinitrc :

$ grep conky .xinitrc
sleep 10 && conky -c /home/ktr/.conkyrc-cores &

(sleep 10 conky) & didn't give any result at all, oddly enough. I tried 'sleep 10 && conky &' and all is well, thanks for your efforts, much appreciated.
