Question: I've installed conky using `sudo apt-get install conky-all` and followed this [tutorial](http://www.unixmen.com/configure-conky-lua-in-ubuntu-11-10-12-04-fedora-debian-and-linuxmint-howto-conky/) to configure. The configuration works properly in Unity desktop in Ubuntu 12.04 and everything seems OK, However using Gnome 3 nothing appears on the desktop.
I have used following command to invoke conky at startup `sh -c "sleep 20s; conky -c ~/.conkyrc"`.

Please suggest what additional steps need to be taken in order to make it work in Gnome shell Ubuntu 12.04.

Here is the [.conkyrc](http://pastebin.com/Nvp044Gb) file.

Answer: 
What you need script for? Just launch it like this by adding to Startup list. 

```
conky -p 20 -c /home/{username}/.conkyrc

```
try some of these parameters, specially the own\_window\_type:

```
update_interval 3
total_run_times 0
own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
....
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no

```

Also, I had problems when starting conky at login in an automatically way, so now, I am used to run conky manually. When you try this way do you still have the problem?
