I think I may have found the problem; there was a stray ${font} command lurking in the top line. Apparently the ${alignr} command is dependent on font size, so that must have been messing with it somehow.
Edit: Yep, five minutes later, and everything's lined up like soldiers on parade. Although all that jiggering about somehow moved my album art 8 pixels to the left!

Thought I might post this for those using unity to show how to use
Unity launcher quicklists to control and edit your conkys.
Save as Conky.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications
To edit for your setup and paths (must use full paths in the .desktop file, not the ~ symbol)...Code:#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=/home/glen/conky/toggleconky Name=Conky Icon=/home/glen/Pictures/letter-c.png Comment=Toggle conky on/off Actions=edit-demo;run-demo;edit-conkyrc [Desktop Action edit-demo] Name=Edit demo-conkyrc Exec=gedit /home/glen/conky/configs/demo-conkyrc OnlyShowIn=Unity; [Desktop Action run-demo] Name=Run demo-conkyrc Exec=conky -c /home/glen/conky/configs/demo-conkyrc OnlyShowIn=Unity; [Desktop Action edit-conkyrc] Name=Edit All Configs Exec=gedit /home/glen/conky/configs/cal-conkyrc /home/glen/conky/configs/surf-conkyrc /home/glen/conky/configs/gmail-conkyrc /home/glen/conky/configs/timer-conkyrc OnlyShowIn=Unity;

Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking with that. I've taken that line out, and nothing drastic has occurred.
Still hasn't stopped those two objects (upspeed and downspeed) jumping around, though. I'll try changing them to monospace fonts (as suggested earlier) and see if that helps.

I've got it! Because alignr is dependent on font size/width, the upspeed and downspeed readouts move position whenever the numbers for totalup and totaldown change!
I worked that out when I swapped UPLOAD SPEED/DOWNLOAD SPEED and UPLOADED/DOWNLOADED around to see if that would change things. It only made it worse, because the UPLOAD SPEED/DOWNLOAD SPEED numbers were contantly changing, thus causing the UPLOADED/DOWNLOADED numbers to move around all the time.

Hello all!
I am trying to get my Google Calendar to display on my desktop using Conky, however it is only displaying my calendar partially. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 with Xfce 4.10 desktop environment.
Here is my current conkyrc file:
Note: When I run Conky, I get the following output in my terminal:Code:alignment top_right background no border_width 0 cpu_avg_samples 2 default_color white default_outline_color white default_shade_color white draw_borders no draw_graph_borders yes draw_outline no draw_shades no use_xft yes xftfont DejaVu Sans Mono:size=10 gap_x 5 gap_y 60 minimum_size 5 5 net_avg_samples 2 double_buffer yes out_to_console no out_to_stderr no extra_newline no own_window yes own_window_class Conky own_window_type override own_window_transparent yes own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager stippled_borders 0 update_interval 1.0 uppercase no use_spacer none show_graph_scale no show_graph_range no text_buffer_size 8096 TEXT ${execi 300 gcalcli --nc --cals=owner calw 4}
Here is a screenshot of my desktop: http://imgur.com/Ntiu0Code:Conky: desktop window (e00003) is subwindow of root window (dc) Conky: window type - override Conky: drawing to created window (0x4200001) Conky: drawing to double buffer Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 1524, in <module> BowChickaWowWow() File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 1469, in BowChickaWowWow gcal.CalQuery(args[0], count=int(args[1])) File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 1011, in CalQuery self._GraphEvents(cmd, start, count, eventList) File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 712, in _GraphEvents PrintMsg(CLR_NRM(), line + "\n") File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 239, in PrintMsg sys.stdout.write(unicode(msg, 'UTF-8')) TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported
Much thanks!
I'm screwed but I'm still laughing! o_0
I've finally come up with a fix; I've given the upspeed and downspeed sections their own lines in conkyrc, and used voffset to move them up to where they need to be. It's dirty and ugly, but it works.
Another fix would have been using a monospace font, but I couldn't find one I liked. They're all so dull!
