I installed 12.1 using netinstall and added only the LXDE desktop. Ever since I tried #!9.04, I’ve loved openbox and conky. Unfortunately, this one is acting oddly, even though I’ve been using this .conkyrc or one very similar for a couple years or more on multiple distros. Here’s the .conkyrc.

And here are the results. The first one had gap_x and gap_y commented out, so you can see the full border.

Here’s how it looks with gap_x and gap_y enabled:

And it doesn’t change size, even with cpugraph, upspeedgraph, and downspeedgraph all on the same line.

So, any idea what’s going on & how I fix it so my conky’s window is no bigger than it has to be? Cos at this point I’d really rather it was long and low.
