I've recently found Conky and it makes my desktop look nice.
Question #1:
When I run "conky -C conky" I have to keep the terminal open, if I close it Conky will close too. What can I do to prevent this?
Question #2:
When I click on the minimize-button in Gnome, Conky will minimize too, is there a way to make it stay on the background?
Have a nice day everyone. =)

Thanks for all replies.
This line in the conky-config did prevent Conky from getting minimized: own_window_type override

Re: Questions about Conky
As long as we're at it ... how do you make Conky automatically 'start' at booting.
Without having to use the terminal each time.
I know there is a simple script for this? And where do you put it?
