Hello!
I left my Dapper installation a month ago to move to something more recent, Gutsy that is.
And, being a perfectionist, I got from a server installation to a minimal gnome d.e. to a system that fits my needs and lacks useless stuff like games.
I installed conky, used my old .conkyrc file from Dapper and set it to start upon login to gnome.
My problem is that the fonts are NOT antialliased at first. I have to killall conky and restart it to get the fonts to become smooth.
Here is my .conkyrc
background yes
use_xft yes
xftfont Verdana:size=11
xftalpha 0.8
update_interval 5.0
total_run_times 0

draw_graph_borders no

I will post screenshots after next reboot, if requested
