press the quote button at the bottom of foutes post then take a look at the line that he has in code tags

you start with

[c o d e] (without the spaces)

and finish with

[/ c o d e] (again no spaces, im just using them so it doesnt change into a code box )

or when you are writing your post, select everything you want in the code box and then click on the # icon just above the text entry box

I notice a lot of folk using programs the take snapshots of their desktop.
You guys know you can just press the PrtScr button and gnomes/unitys defaut screen capture program will take the shot for you. Also Alt+ PrtScr will also take a snapshot of the program or window you have open..

Hope this helps..

I have a problem I have never run into before.

When I add my conky start scrip to Startup Applications and reboot conky does not start and conky start is no longer in Startup Apps.

I run the start up script in terminal and it works.

Do you have a conky.sh (/usr/local/bin/conky.sh) with sleep 30 in one line? add conky.sh instead of conky script to startup.

#!/bin/sh
sleep 10

Dear all. I wanted to read all before asking but gave up after 10 pages. Maybe someone will know how to fix problem.

I have conky + conky-colors theme installed. All fine, but 8 out of 10 times when I click desktop conky disappears.

- What could be causing it ?

Post your conky RC, sounds like one of the window settings.
