This is that first time I've heard that Conky can use an actual window, rather than just appearing on the desktop. Cool! I'll have to give it a shot. Personally, I've not seen the value of putting useful information (or, for that matter, icons) on the desktop, because most of the time I'm not looking at the desktop. I tend to run most apps full-screen and find it a hassle to minimize everything to check some info on the desktop. And I don't like leaving space for things like gkrellm or gdesklets; doesn't strike me as an effective use of screen real estate.
