[GrouchyGaijin <934189@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am on 14.04 64bit.

When I set the conky window to override I also get something similar to overlapping letters.
When the conky updates it looks as though letters are written on top of letters that were already there - this makes it very difficult to read what conky is displaying.

Title:
  desktop focus interferes with conky

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in compiz package in Arch Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Have conky specs:
  own_window yes
  own_window_class Conky
  own_window_type normal
  own_window_transparent yes
  own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

  Open an application (e.g. gedit or system-settings) and close it again, desktop doesn't automatically take focus.
  User needs to left click on conky window to focus desktop in order to invoke shortcuts to switch workspaces (ctrl+alt+arrow) or alt+f2.
  own_window_type desktop doesn't help.

  Alternativeley open and close the dash with <super> allows shortcuts
  to switch workspaces.

  After latest updates above workarounds don't help any longer.
  Now there is no option to make shortcuts invoke their functions.

  ## This was fixed in Oneiric bug 871277 #7.
  ## Monitoring bug 953089 since the description of 4) meets exactly latest behaviour here, except 'If no program is visible on the screen'.
