[gnome-flashback] * SOLVED * CONKY(1.10.1-3) with Metacity + compositing-manager + alt-tab-thumbnails working !!

[Chris Rainey <ckrzen gmail com>]

Thank you, again, Alberts for your help and guidance.

Needed code for a .conkyrc to work with compositing in Metacity:

/code

... <snip>

    double_buffer = true,

    own_window = true,

    own_window_transparent = true,

    own_window_type = 'desktop',

<snip> ...

I really like the Alt-Tab-Thumbnails switcher and now everything is working.

Please see attached screenshot for my desktop view.

I don't know anything about Conky. Why it needs re-paint/update root
window? How it is done?
