Bug #311
Using conky with subtle
0%
Description
Hi there,
I'm trying to get conky running together with subtle. I'm facing a quite weird behaviour.
When I start conky it should be displayed on view '2' which works well. In the configuration I configured a gravity of :right33 (subtle.rb) When I switch to view '2' I see the conky window at the correct position for about 2 seconds, then it disappeard or is put on position :top_left. During my tests I reduced the conky config to the absolute minimum (conkyrc.system). If I start subtler with the parameters -l -c, then I got a 'no geometry given' error.
https://gist.github.com/4547961 with conkyrc, subtle.rb and the console ouput of subtler.
Cheers,
andi_artig

Updated by Without checking your config, did you try to let conky draw onto the root window?

Updated by Yeah, I tried that. But my setup consists of two conky instances showing different information: one left and one right. So drawing to the root window does not work for my use case. I reduced the setup to the one on the right side to make debugging easier.

Can you post the output of xprop of both your conky windows?

Hey, I doubt that it is subtle's fault here, because conky just says its toplevel window of normal type and should be handled like every other window. So I cannot really comment on the behaviour without testing.
Well, I don't see me adding a kind of exclusion for stupid clients. ;)

Hey there, sorry for the delay. I got a quite serious flu... :( Any information I can provide? Or any idea where I can look for errors? Or tools to use to find the error?
