#36 Conky not loading in the right place at login despite right settings...?
Hi - I have Conky set up on two different machines, my Linux Mint 14 netbook, and my fresh-install Xubuntu 14.04 LTS desktop.
I've noticed something odd on both of them with Conky. When I login, Conky starts just fine after its delay as I have it set to delay by 60 seconds using Conky's own pause function on both computers. However, when Conky finally starts after its pause, it is not in the same place I tell it to be with it's .conkyrc file....
What I mean by this is, when I log in, my Conky display is PRETTY MUCH in the right place, but moved slightly to the left and down by 40-50 pixels. If I were to then open the .conkyrc file and re-save it WITHOUT MODIFYING IT AT ALL, Conky would re-load as it should in the right place I had it set to.
Any ideas why Conky is loading at startup but not to the place I have specified in it's .conkyrc file until I re-load it? I've asked this same question on the Ubuntu and Linux Mint forums and nobody had an answer, sadly...
I use a modified version of the Harmattan Conky theme - the code for my Conky display's placement is as follows:
On the Linux Mint 14 netbook:
gap_x -19
gap_y 13
minimum_size 268 620
maximum_width 268
own_window yes
own_window_type normal # other options are: override/dock/desktop/panel
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below
border_inner_margin 0
border_outer_margin 0
alignment middle_right
On the Xubuntu 14.04 LTS desktop:
gap_x -19
gap_y 0
minimum_size 268 620
maximum_width 268
own_window yes
own_window_type normal # other options are: override/dock/desktop/panel
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below
border_inner_margin 0
border_outer_margin 0
alignment middle_right
Any help would be appreciated! It's a bit of a pain to have to randomly open the .conkyrc file and save it without changes every single time I login to put Conky in the right place on both machines! :(
Cheers and thanks for any assistance! :)
