Conky not being persistant - Possible bug? Or No?

[Richard Cranium]

Mods , if this thread needs to be moved , that's fine ...

I have Conky installed and I've fixed it up twice (conky.conf) just how I liked it.. but after reboot , it's back to Not how I want it .. And Yes I've backed up the system (filetool.list) using the application in control panel , assuming that's the correct way of doing it....

But yet Conky won't cooperate..  Tint2 works fine , I've changed the wbar and it's just fine after reboot.. Everything else is all there , just not Conky... 

I searched around the forum , but didn't really find the answers ...   Any thoughts?

Ok I'll give that a go , the only part that sucks is that I have to make up conky again , for the third time....
