Currently running trollinger on laptop . . . have installed compton.
How do you get conky to behave? It either has a shadow or disappears when desktop is clicked.
Do i need to stop pcmanfm from controlling the desktop (or something equally stooopid)? . . . and then install feh/nitrogen for wallpaper . . . blah blah blah . . . hoping there's a far more simple solution that I/google/t'interent in general have overlooked.

Re: [SOLVED] trollinger and compton
there's still some work to be done with this - delay conky start or something. Essentially the 'bones' of the fix are good tho'
