Hi Folks,
I am running conky 1.8.1 on both e17 (16.999.57375) and KDE 4.5.11 on different boxes each with true transparency.   I.e.; you don't need Esetroot, feh, etc.   To make conk truely transparent you need a composite running and have the following in .conkyrc
own_window yes
# ARGB can be used for real transparency, note that a composite manager is required for real transparency
own_window_argb_visual true
# Set the transparency alpha value from 0 to 255
own_window_argb_value 0
own_window_type desktop
See http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html
Good luck,
Don

Also, check /var/log/pacman.log to find out which packages you have removed.
I think i found the problem...im not using login manager so im entering with tty...if I enter as root and do
xinit
and then
[enlightenment_start]
when i get to the interface i have sound..but if i enter as my user i dont..sooo the problem is in the permissions..i notice to that when i do reboot by the terminal this happen
[nhull@localhost ~]$ reboot
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.login1.reboot ===
Authentication is required for rebooting the system.
Authenticating as: nhull

This is strange because i am suppose to be logged as nhull...thats why the sound is not working...but im so confused, why is this happening? xD
