http://crunchbang.org – Leave it to Dura to post this ! True ... and funny, funny cuz true (imo anyway.)  Agree conky addiction is a potentially serious problem. Esp for conky grand masters like Sector ... he neither knows, nor cares that conky has become addictive. One of the few things about gnu/nix was able to pry meself away from. ooooOOOoo if only x about my conky would but appear 1/47 inch to da right !!!! Messed with it ... gave up on it, then decided conky is bloat and got rid of it altogether anyway. As conky could nay tell me ... anything I couldn't find out w a coupla secs in terminal anyway ? (HowTos)

Ban Conky 34 weeks 1 day ago

It has come to my attention that Conky- a system monitor that pins itself to users' desktop- has highly addictive properties and that users of such Conky find themselves sitting alone for hours editing and developing long scripts.

I've copied one of the sample .conkyrc files from the conky sourceforge page and pasted it into ~/.conkyrc . However, I've rebooted conky several times (killall -SIGUSR1 conky) and it still uses the default configuration in: /etc/conky/conky.conf .
