Hi all,
Not really looking for a fix, only reporting what I have found.
I have the issue in Ubuntu 12.10. The change from post #22 worked for
me:
#own_window_type override
own_window_type normal
Here's some info on my system:
Conky 1.9.0
Ubuntu 12.10
Compiz 0.9.8.5
Cheers,
Vic.

@Kit (Comment #18),

anything in my .conkyrc file :3

Try to edit this line:
own_window_type override
with:
own_window_type normal
After this, reboot gdm.
It should fix the issue.

Had the same problem with conky staying on top of all windows. I
checked System Monitor - Processes tab and found out it was running
twice for some reason. So I killed the bottom conky and it fixed the
problem. Don't know if that's anyone elses problem, but you might want
to check out to see if
This did not solve the problem. (Using Hardy)

I have been experiencing this problem since I activated compiz.
It starts after a restart (probably on login) and stays after
suspend/resume.
conky 1.6.1-0ubuntu4

Worked perfectly fine under metacity.
Startup Applications command:
sh -c sleep 20 /home/derek/.bin/startup.sh
Is this a problem with conky loading prior to compiz taking over
control? And, when it does take control, it adds the border shadow
does not put it back how it should go.

Mike,
It looks like I spoke too soon. The always on top of all windows
conky problem has come back again after another restart.
In my startup scripts I have tried:
#!/bin/bash
conky
sleep 10
killall conky
sleep 10
conky;
I also tried:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/conky
sleep 10
killall conky
sleep
Mike, that idea worked great!
Here is my syntax in the new conky startup script:
#!/bin/bash
conky
sleep 10
killall conky
sleep 10
conky;

I can also confirm this problem in Ubuntu v8.10. I am using conky
v1.6.1-0ubuntu3 and even with a 30 second delay script, conky is still
above everything on the desktop. Is there any other way to fix this
problem?

Jmadero,
I'm using the same .conkyrc template that you are using (# UBUNTU-CONKY,

After a reboot, a kill and a (conky) restart is needed to obtain desired
behavior.
Delayed startup scripts do not have no effect.

I don' t see what we can do about this, an overridden window is simply
not under the control of the window manager.

I can confirm this behavior on Gutsy when conky uses own_window_type
override.
The window looks fine until after a reboot at which time the conky
window is above all others. If you kill conky and restart it behaves
properly.
I wrote a script to start conky after a 10 second delay and it had no

My roomate actually found out the problem. The sample .conkyrc file had
something that was interfering with it and keeping it on top if added to
the boot. Here is my .conkyrc file just in case anyone else is having
the same problem:
