Conky 1.5.1-1

You may need to right click and click save as, my server tends to want to open it as a text file.

(if anyone knows how to fix this please tell me)

Quick question: does it drag around if you drag on it?

If not, could it be useful for hiding desktop applets under? (So they don't get drug around.)

Obviously for information-only ones, not interaction, and I guess you could just display the information here... Yeah, dumb idea.

Thanks. I just tryed your code conky flickers every 5 seconds, is there a fix for this?

Thanks again.

ok, next question.

Is there a command I can use to start/stop conky from running? (I want to put an entry for in in the OS2008 personal menu)

killall conky
