Noticed this problem on Gnome 3.18 in 16.04 LTS as well with conky v1.10.1. Had to switch to window type 'normal' (default) and used desktop hints instead. 'desktop' window type stops displaying conky if an icon on the desktop is clicked.
--own_window_type = 'desktop', --own_window_type = 'normal', own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below', -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1226277 Title: window_type desktop disappears when the desktop is clicked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/conky/+bug/1226277/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
