Conky falls into deep sleep with USB mount.

[ulabunt]

Hi
I'm experiencing low importance nuisance with conky.
I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and use conky to have basic system overview.
Whenever I mount/umount USB flash, conky disapears from display. It does not crash, it only falls into neverending sleep (process state: Sl+). When I send rehub signal (kill 1 {conky_pid}) conky happily wake up, reloads configuration and shows me what I want to see. I dont have anything USB realted in my monitor. Any ideas?
Thanks. V.

Alright its not just USB mount that makes conky sleep. It falls into sleep quite often for various reason.
I'm sure number of people is experiencing this behavior.. but since nobody is responding.. it looks like the most time effective answer is to say good bye to conky.

Don't have that behaviour and haven't heard of it before.
Would help if you posted your conky config.
