Every time I use Cairo Dock Show Desktop add-on Conky minimizes:



enter image description here



enter image description here



I've read about the own_window_type override option on .conkyrc and it seems to work for some people but it doesn't work for me. Conky won't show up if I use this option (it is currently set to own_window_type normal).



Any suggestions?

Use:



own_window_type panel


using panel instead of normal or override should fix your problem, i.e. keep your conky window visible through show_desktop function calls from cairo dock (or other programs)



See below extract from the conky documentation for other settings:



from: http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html




if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock,
panel or override (default: normal). Desktop windows are special
windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your
desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across
all workspaces. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop edge, just
like panels and taskbars, preventing maximized windows from
overlapping them. The edge is chosen based on the alignment option.
Override windows are not under the control of the window manager.
Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain
situations.
