Conky doesn't show (XFCE 4.8) and keeps asking password? [SOLVED]

Question

I've finally got XFCE4.8 all dressed up the way I want it to look.
Only problem left is Conky:
1.It simply doesn't show on the desktop.
2.It keeps asking for a password?
If i start conky via terminal i get this:
=========================================================
[sven@myhost ~]$ conky
Conky: desktop window (1400003) is subwindow of root window (15d)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2000001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Password:
=========================================================
My .conkyrc looks like this:
=========================================================
own_window yes
own_window_colour 0F0D0D
