    try this
    conky -help
    and
    conky -d
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    Check this line in your .conkeyrc file and change it to no:

    Code:
    own_window yes

    Where can I find the file itself?

    It should be in: /home/username/.conkyrc

    If you don't have one, you'll need to copy the default .conkyrc file that comes with the package, or find one belonging to someone else that you like and copy it to your own home directory like shown above.
