Conky won't stay below other windows...

Hellu!
I'm currently using conky with a conkyrc from my Ubuntu laptop which works quite well... Problem is, when Compiz is started, Conky suddently wants to stay on top of all other windows. Restarting conky fixes the problem, but I'd rather not restart conky everytime i login to the system... Anyone know how to fix this?
Also. Is there a way to add conky to compiz' widget-layer and still have it below all other windows? Basically, I want it on the desktop unless i hit a key, which makes it come on top of everything.
Heres my conky configuration:
# Use Xft?
use_xft yes
xftfont DejaVu Sans:size=8
xftalpha 0.8
text_buffer_size 2048
# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1

# Set to zero to run forever.

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)

# Minimum size of text area

# Draw shades?

# Draw outlines?

  • My Itunes Won't Stay Minimized In Windows Vista

    My Itunes won't stay minimized. I will minimize it and then it will pop back up, i don't know if this issue has been addressed before but its driving me insane. what do i do?

    I have the same problem. This problem has shown up and gone away many times over the last couple of years. Its the main reason that I rarely use iTunes.
    Have you found a solution? I'm tired of buying MP3s from iTunes and playing them in Windows Media Player

  • Printer won't stay connected in Windows 8

    I have Windows 8 Compaq laptop. I also have an HP ENVY 4501 e-All-in-One printer. I have had this problem with my last printer too, but now I am finally tired of it. Every time I close the lid to my laptop or the printer powers off/goes to sleep it disconnects from my laptop. So every time I go to print it tells me the printer is offline even though the printer is on, connected, and sitting right next to me. Then I have to go into the control panel, remove the printer, and re-install it. How can I get it to stay connected to my computer all the time? 
    (By the way, I have already tried leaving the printer on 24/7 and it still disconnects from my computer)
    Please help!
    Thanks

  • Acer S7 392 won't stay connected to Window VPN

    Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to do to get the VPN to stay connected on my Acer S7 392 with Windows 8?  It will work for a few minutes and then disconnect.
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Hi,
    With limited infortmation, it's hard to find the cause, What is the VPN client you're using? Built-in VPN program ot third party VPN client?
    Have you checked the event viewer? Control Panel\Administrator Tool\Event Viewer, then expand to Windows log
    System and Applications and Services\Microsoft\Windows\VPN-Client, see if there're some valuable information recorded.

  • G780 won't stay in current window

    My laptop comes out of the current window - continually.  I can be typing an email, and suddenly it de-selects the window, and typing doesn't result in anything.  Or I can be scrolling through a webpage and suddenl;y the arrow keys have no effect.
    It is not the keyboard - you can see that a window is no longer the active window.  It has happened 5 times while typing this.
    Laptop has just come back from another repair under warranty, where BIOS was reloaded.  Would have thought that would have solved any problem like this?

    hi GeoffC,
    It's most likely the sensitivity of the touchpad that's making you jump out of your current Window. It happened to me on a test laptop. After installing the touchpad drive and adjusted the palm check and touch sensitivity, the issue went away.
    Can you check the following:
    1. Go to Control Panel (large icon view) and click on Mouse. On the Mouse Properties, check if you have an ELAN or  Device Settings Tab and adjust the settings accordingly

  • Adobe Reader XI won't stay open in Windows 7; Solutions don't work

    My Adobe reader was working fine under Windows 7 and all of a sudden it stopped working.  It opens, starts opening a file and before it finishes opening the file, it closes. I have unstalled Adobe Reader XI using the Adobe Cleaner Tool provided on the community board website and reinstalled it from the Adobe.com website.  I also went to the eula.exe file and clicked accept which was a suggestion on the community board. Please help

    Other things you could try...
    Update Reader to 11.0.5
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Bug: cursor won't stay in edit window

    (TLDR: Something about the Ajax used to implement Discussions causes the edit windows to lose focus. )
    I'm having this problem using these support communities (discussions.apple.com) with Safari 5.1.7 over OS X 10.6.8.
    I'm typing text (like right now in fact) and I am moving my cursor around with the arrow keys.  Typically I'm at the start of a line.  And then sometimes (well, often but not always) instead of moving up/down, it will LOSE FOCUS - that is, my cursor will no longer be inside the typing box anymore. 
    Suddenly, typing does nothing, and arrow keys make the page scroll up and down or "Browser Back" (navigate to previous web page)* ... which pops up a warning message that I'm about to leave the web page I'm editing text on. 
    It doesn't happen on other web sites AFIAK.
    * who was the genius who came up with THAT shortcut key?  I'm sure it made sense in 1994 when web pages were novel and nobody entered text in them, but now web browsers are app engines, and I bet the majority of all keyboarding is now done in web browsers.

    Quit iPhoto and try deleting the iPhoto preference file. It is found at Home/Library/Preferences and is called com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move it to the trash, launch iPhoto, and see if you can edit in the info pane. (You'll have to reset your preferences once in iPhoto.)

  • Wireless Bluetooth Speakers (TDK A33s) Won't Stay Paired to Windows 8.1 (Lenovo IdeaPad Y580)

    Hello,
    I recently acquired a pair of Bluetooth speakers (the TDK A33), and am unable to connect it to my PC. The Bluetooth interface sees the speakers, connects with
    them for a few seconds when I try to pair, and then disconnects. The speakers connect to my phone just fine, so it's not the speakers (and TDK tech support hasn't exactly been very helpful). 
    I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo IdeaPad Y580; I tried updating
    my Bluetooth drivers, as a few sites recommended (pulling them from them Lenovo site), but still no dice. I've read a few things that seem to suggest is a
    Windows 8.1 issue. 
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    B

    try to check whether you have the latest version
    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-y-series-laptops/ideapad-y580?c=1
    check also whether this Bluetooth can be connected to other device
    you can also try to delete all Bluetooth profile, and test
    try to other PC with Windows 8.1 OS if any

  • Finder won't stay selected if other programs open and can't open new window

    I have just noticed a new problem. If other programs are open, Finder won't stay selected program. If I alt tab to it or click on it in dock, it shows on menu bar for a half second and goes away. If I right click on icon in dock and select open new window, it will not do so. If I select a folder from the desktop, it opens in Finder with no problem and I can move within the Finder at will.
    I have updated all software. I am running the current Macbook Pro 15in. No other problems noted so far.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Do you have another account you can log into?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.

    Hi NicoMan,
    According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
    Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance  ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
    We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
    If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
    If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
    Best regards

  • My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected

    My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected, and its connection is set up the same way my fiance's macbook is (his macbook is about three years older than my iMac). Every time my computer goes into sleep mode and I come back (even if it's mere seconds after giving the black screen) I have no internet connection. I discovered a workaround for it some time ago, but now that is working less and less, and now my computer randomly disconnects WHILE I'm actively using the internet. Just a few minutes ago, the connection refused to come back until I restarted my computer, even though once again all other computers in the house were connected. The workaround I discovered before and which doesn't work as reliably now, is to click opne Airport at the top right of the screen, click "Open Network Preferences," then click "Assist me," then click "Diagnostics," and wait for everything to turn green again, signalling a connection.

    Let's check the quality of your connection since signal strength alone does not insure a good connection. The "bars" that you see at the top of the iMac screen are there pretty much for show.
    Hold down the option key on the iMac while you click on the Apple icon at the upper left corner of your screen and select System Profiler
    Look down the list of items at the left of the window until you find the setting for Network, then click on AirPort.
    In the window to the right, look for any listings of your wireless network name. You may possibly see two listings for the wireless network name.
    We need for you to list the information that you see for Signal / Noise.  These will be negative numbers. Post back with your findings and we will continue.
    In the meantime, please move any cordless phones that you have or any other electronic devices that are near the iMac as far away as possible from the iMac.
    If the iMac is located in a corner or an enclosed area, give it as much room as possible since the wireless antenna is on the back of the iMac and it needs to be able to "see" the room.
    Anything that you can do to minimize the number of obstructions like walls or furniture etc between the iMac and the wireless router will help the cause as well.

  • Reminders Info Window Won't Stay Open

    Reminder info (location, date, time) won't stay open long enough for me to input location. Winndow fades away before it can search for a location i.e. trying to input Airport but fades before I can enter airport name.

    I have given up. Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 times to open the window before I can complete my short entry. I think it definetely has to do with syncing and iCloud. I wish there was a way to setup the frequency of syncs or something.
    I have resorted to using notes. It syncs with iCloud, but doesn't seem to show the same quirky behavior
    Reminders is SO frustrating to use on any level. It is half baked IMO, this issue, can't sort the lists, can't do a delete all for completed items.

    #2 Except for a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a dead web technology.  It's not supported by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc...  I don't recommend using Flash for anything these days.  Better to use HTML5, CSS level 3 and JavaScript.

  • ITunes 10.5 staying on top of all my other windows

    I have Windows XP, running iTunes 10.5, and I noticed something in this version that is really annoying, besides the fact that this newest version is a memory hog. I noticed iTunes window is staying ON TOP of all my other windows, specifically the task bar at the bottom. I have my task bar set to stay on top of other windows, and set it to auto hide, but when iTunes is loaded, i can't get my task bar to float back up. Anyone else have the same problem? I am really frustrated.

    This issue still exists in iTunes 10.7 Not happy Apple. I'm running Windows 7 so this isn't just an "XP is old" problem. Luckily I'll be udating my iP4 to a yet to be released non-Apple phone so I won't have to live with this for much longer. Although I'll still have my iP4 hanging around as an "iPod" so... maybe not. Either way please fix this!! Another issue which I feel is related is going into the visualizer and making it full screens blacks out any secondry monitors. Get the feeling this is caused by the same line of code that's causing it to be always on top. Doesn't play well with the other kids on the block.
