I have conky working fine with Lenny and Gnome, I needed to add the following to the .conkyrc: own_window yes own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar own_window_transparent yes double_buffer yes And comment out: #own_window_type root Which worked fine under Fluxbox, to stop it vanishing. Then to get it to start up reliably, I had to add it to the gnome session, via System > Preferences > Sessions and Add. Hopefully that helps. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi Gav Thanks for the suggestions - I did have those in the .conkyrc file already (well, with the exception of "own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar" which I have now added as well for good measure). Next time I log out and back in again, I'll have to see what happens. I appreciate your input, thanks. I see that there appeared to be a number of Gnome-related libraries in today's update, so perhaps (magically) some of that will fix the issue. I'll keep this list posted on developments. Thanks again to all who have responded to my "tale of woe". All the best AG
