Google Calendar on desktop

[EarnestLearner]

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:


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=12
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}

Note: When I run Conky, I get the following output in my terminal:


Conky: desktop window (1200003) is subwindow of root window (dc)
Conky: window type - override
Conky: drawing to created window (0x3e00001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer

I am interested in Conky, but haven't yet done much with calendars. Re-post your question here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&page=2148), and I guarantee someone will answer with a great solution rather quickly.
