Yes I forgot to mention that I reverted back to metacity so no more emerald until its fixed. I have just attempted to load a very simple configuration containging one variable $sysname The system froze just the same as before with the standard conkyrc. I also attempted to run top throughout this process however that simply froze and would not update with the correct information.
I attempted to powerdown using your suggestions ctrl-c and alt-ctrl- backspace had no effect. An interesting point was when I tried to conky -v for the installed version. This did exactly the same thing as when I attempt to run any .conkyrc. It completely froze up again and had to power down at switch again. Synaptic reports that I have version 1.7.2 installed so I completely removed then installed again and now it seems to work fine now with all the scripts.
