BUGS
Drawing to root or some other desktop window directly doesn't work with
all window managers. Especially doesn't work well with Gnome and it has
- been reported that it doesn't work with KDE either. Nautilus can be
- disabled from drawing to desktop with program gconf-editor. Uncheck
- show_desktop in /apps/nautilus/preferences/. There is -w switch in
- Conky to set some specific window id. You might find xwininfo -tree
- useful to find the window to draw to. You can also use -o argument
