• On Arch Linux the new conkywx.conf will be saved as /etc/conkywx/conkywx.conf.pacnew - review the changes and update your conkywx.conf
• If you are using Gnome 3 - own_window_type in the *conkyrc.sh needs to be changed to normal
• In some cases to have conky restart automatically you may need to give a sleep 30 - delay in your conky-start script
• *conkyrc.sh files are configured on XFCE 4.10 with compiz + emerald - you may need to tweak conkyrc examples for your DE
