I've recently started having an issue between conky and Ubuntu dash. When the dash is opened the area where my conky is set up will continue to show conky. If I move my mouse around, the area of the dash displaying conky will flicker between; the dash that's supposed to be displayed and the conky.
If there's a window covering up conky and the dash is opened, I get the same behavior, except rather than conky showing up in the dash, there is a section of the covering window the size of my conky.
This started all of the sudden, no changes other than usual updates, I had noticed some xorg updates around the time the problem started.
I'm using the only driver I can to get 3D acceleration (FGLRX), as I have one of the ati/ati hybrid chipsets. I've tried 4 different versions of the driver, but they changed nothing.
Maybe I have something in my .conkyrc file set up wrong, I'm certainly no expert. I've tried a few small changes, and the only thing that got rid of the issue in the dash, was to comment out "own_window yes" but that causes other issues, mainly conky blinking when the desktop is clicked on. So here's my .conkyrc.
Code:
draw_borders no
draw_shades yes
double_buffer yes
default_color 000000
own_window yes
own_window_type desktop
own_window_class conky
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

I'd really appreciate some help here as I've run out of things to try. My only other option is to not run conky, but that would really bum me out as I wrote the .conkyrc myself and spent a lot of time on it, but ultimately it makes the dash unusable. Any help or suggestions are as always appreciated.
