You should embed it into your desktop, that way it`s not a in a separate window.

I am working on getting Debian set up with the Awesome Window Manager.

I got my dual monitor set up, and I am already saving up for two new monitors, I want to do 4 x 22" LCD working on two different systems via synergy. Two of them, my linux system running debian with Awesome WM, and my other two set up with Windows. That way, I have a nice array of Monitors and one keyboard to control the whole shebang. I already have the cash, but the monitor I have invested in seems to drop once a month about $40 so I am waiting for it to drop even more. I am thinking around Easter it should drop again. I can wait until then. I might even go as far as setting up a KVM with two of the systems, and control my server, and two main systems with one keyboard.


EDIT: If you actually go on the awesome website, you will see somewhat what I want to set up..

conky can be embedded into the desktop, that's no problem...but personally I experience some problems when doing so:
- when using single buffer (default) the it flickers when the data is refreshed
- when using double buffer (conky -b) there is no flickering anymore but sometimes the desktop icons are gone, seems there is a conflict with Compiz then....
