    same problem,

    if I launch conky from the command line it stays behind other windows correctly. If I launch it from startup it is always on top.

    x64 9.04 with Compiz with NVidia drivers.

    Set

    sh -c "sleep 15 && conky"

    as a start - works great. You can change "15" in secs if you need (in my case 15 seconds is enough).

    Its because conky need to wait until compiz will start completely.
