Anyone else having this issue with nitrogen and conky -
I will change the wallpaper with nitrogen while conky is running. However, the settings are not saved and "nitrogen --restore" fails. Either get the old wallpaper, or a blank desktop.
In a terminal:
nitrogen --restore
yields this error:
UNKNOWN ROOT WINDOW TYPE DETECTED, will attempt to set via normal X procedure
The fix appears to be to:
1. stop conky
2. set new wallpaper
So the conky (1.10) window seems to be messing nitrogen up.
Extreme fix is to delete the two files in $HOME/.config/nitrogen and then set the wallpaper with nitrogen without conky running.
As an added measure, I also added a "sleep 5s &&" to the conky line in ~/.fluxbox/startup and start it up last.
This behavior also occurs in openbox; same fix.
Thought I had seen this bug before -

Not having any issue. My 'goto' and up-to-date regular vsido. Just tried resetting wallpaper and logged out and it was fine. Also did a convenient 'up' and rebooted, wallpaper was fine. Sorry no issues with conky through that either.
Hmmm, now after a little playing, can't break it at all... :)
Looks to be a conky bug. I have the same issue in VSIDO (desktop) and Void (laptop). If I don't run conky, there is no issue.
If I get motivated, I'll try different conkyrc and see if the issue persists. With a bit of luck it will be a simple setting to avoid.
that might be it. (setting) I've got 4 conky's running that are started in my ~/.fluxbox/startup file. They are started in a 'staggered' manner and using ver 1.10 of Conky.
