Hi Arve,

I changed both to values of your config and: TADA!
Conky is not longer crazy!
Thanks a lot! :)

but the only difference between yours and mine that should be able to make
a difference are:

background = false  (but I launch mine to background from a script anyway,
so probably no difference)
own_window = true

Hi Arve,

The upgrade was from app-admin/conky-1.9.0-r3 =>
app-admin/conky-1.10.4. With the old version my config works
fine, The new version wants a new syntax (now lua) and a  converter
script was provided, which works fine beside some minor manual edits.

After that update the output of conky looks the same as before, but
the new feature (the crazy move) was added.

My config is as follows:

conky.config = {
background = true,
use_xft = true,
font = 'Sans:size=8',
xftalpha = 1,
update_interval = 1.0,
total_run_times = 0,
own_window = false,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_type = 'desktop',
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
double_buffer = true,
minimum_width = 200, minimum_height = 200,
maximum_width = 200,
draw_shades = true,
draw_outline = false,
draw_borders = false,
draw_graph_borders = true,
default_color = 'white',
default_shade_color = 'black',
default_outline_color = 'white',
alignment = 'top_right',
gap_x = 12,
gap_y = 12,
no_buffers = true,
uppercase = false,
cpu_avg_samples = 2,
override_utf8_locale = false,

};

Did it used to work or is it a new installation? What does your config look
like? My conky instances don't behave like this as far as I know, and my
config looks like this:

own_window = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_type = 'desktop',
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',

[gentoo-user] crazy conky

Hi,

after successfully compiling conky again (omitting the nvidia related
stuff) another crazy """bug""" appears, which not present in the 
previous version:

My conky configuration puts a vertical "stripe" of horizontal bars and
values at the very right side of the destktop.
By entering an empty desktop (I am using openbox by the way), opening
a terminal window (for example) and moving this window left<->right 
and back and so forth moves the comky output down until it jumps back
in position and the game starts from the beginning...

Hmmm

Every application deserves its own freedom...but...

Any idea what's happening here?

Cheers
