Don't know if this will help, but here's how i start up my conkys. On
the rare occasion that E gets wobbly and has to restart 2 of the 3 are
redrawn in the wrong position, so the startup script first kills any
existing conky instances. Then i switch to the virtual desktop i want
them to appear on, pause, and start them up. I don't remember the
reason for the pause, it might be because when this script runs at
login, other startup programs are running and the virtual desktop
switch didn't complete before conky started.
$ cat conky-startup.sh
killall conky
enlightenment_remote -desktop-show 2 1
sleep 5
cd "/home/conrad/.conky/openweather"
conky -q -c "conkyrc" &
cd "/home/conrad/.conky/conn_tar"
conky -q -c "conkyrc_seamod" &
cd "/home/conrad/.conky/conky_rings"
conky -q -c "rings" &
As for transparency, all my conkyrc files include these lines:
conky.config = {
-- Create own window instead of using desktop
own_window = true,
own_window_type = 'normal',
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
own_window_argb_visual = true,
no_buffers = true,
own_window_class = 'Conky',
-- Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer = true,
Hope this at least gives you some clues for your setup!
-Conrad.
