Re: [e-users] Conky & Manual window placement

Hi all and Happy New Year!

Further to this topic... although I get along fine with a conky on a 
single screen system I find it impossible to get proper placement of a 
conky at login on a dual head system when the conky is to be placed on 
the second screen. E Window Remembers and Locks are not retained and 
although the coordinates in the conkyrc are respected on a single screen 
setup they seem to get ignored in a dual-head setup and the Conky 
randomly appears on Screen 1 even if the conkyrc coordinates are written 
place it on Screen 2. I would guess that E is not looking at 2 screen 
setups as one large area like other DE's so numbers outside the 
dimensions of Screen 1 are ignored..?

Anyway not a showstopper but enough of an annoyance on dual-head setups 
that I have given up on using a Conky on those systems..

Best, Glen
