When I start my Debian running inside a VMWare, the screen resolution for the login is a small square, like 800x600.After the login, the screen goes full 1680x1050.The result: Conky is ALWAYS opening in the wrong place (somewhere in the middle of the screen).The thing is, after the screen is full size, if I edit the .conkyrc config file (add and remove a white space) and save it, Conky reopen in the correct place of the screen.What I have already tried:Delay Conky startup in the Conky callDelay Conky startup in the script that calls ConkyThe combination of above options.Here is the main part of the config file:background yesuse_xft yesxftfont 123:size=8xftalpha 0.1update_interval 3total_run_times 0own_window yesown_window_type normal own_window_transparent yesown_window_argb_visual yesown_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pagerdouble_buffer yesminimum_size 250 5maximum_width 400draw_shades nodraw_outline nodraw_borders nodraw_graph_borders nodefault_color graydefault_shade_color reddefault_outline_color greenalignment top_rightgap_x 10gap_y 10no_buffers nouppercase nocpu_avg_samples 2net_avg_samples 1override_utf8_locale yesuse_spacer yestext_buffer_size 256position top rightIs there a way to solve that problem? Either making the login screen full size instead of 800x600 or some exotic Conky configuration tag?
Conky wrong alignment at startup in Debian under VMware

My answer to this was to create a launcher on my desktop that runs the command killall -HUP conky, which triggers a conky reset and redraw when I double-click it.  I suppose I have not scripted it to run automatically because I usually lock screen instead of log out, and haven't rebooted the machine for months now.No reason it can't be automated, though.  Something like this:  Make a file ~/conky-redraw containing:#!/bin/bashsleep 30killall -HUP conkyMake it executable (chmod 755 ~/conky-redraw) and add it to your startup (however you usually do it, or add the line ~/conky-redraw & to the end of ~./profile for example).Tweak the number of sleep seconds based on how long your desktop and conky take to get started and established.
