This issues still seems to be around on Ubuntu 12.10 - conky would randomly turn its background into some light grey. Most of the time this happens shortly after logging into the desktop, with conky being autostarted through a ~/.config/autostart entry. In very rare occasions though, the grey background returns to "normal" after some time, without any noticeable trigger.
Conky window is configured as: own_window yes own_window_type override own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405340 Title: Conky background uses gtk_color_scheme's window background color, at random Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Fix Released Status in “conky” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: conky In Karmic the background of the conky turns grey[random] , this does not happen when i dual boot into Jaunty and use the same .conkyrc I ran conky from terminal ,but there is no error when this happens.
