Re: Making conky un-minimizable

This is not directly relevant, but have you heard of/tried the "Revelation"
extension (https://github.com/guotsuan/awesome-revelation)?

It helps you find specific windows when you have a lot of stuff open.

Is there any chance of fixing this situation and reopt for another
language for configuring AwesomeWM?

Making conky un-minimizable

[Greg Bell]

I have Conky set up much like here: 
http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Conky_HUD


However, when I get window-clutter-overwhelm, I like to hold down Mod4 
+ n and just minimize everybody and start over again.


Problem is, when I get to the desktop, often Conky is up so it gets 
minimized too.  Once that happens the toggle (conky.ontop) doesn't 
work any more.  I have to killall -9 conky, then re-run it.


It has "focusable = false" in the properties, like in the wiki, so I 
would have thought this couldn't happen.


What am I doing wrong?


Many thanks,
Greg
