Desktop keyboard shortcuts don't work with conky

Perfect, @Bill_MI! It was either background yes which was initially set to no (and conky being started with the & suffix), or own_window_type override which was set to background, that did the trick. Whichever, thank you! I also changed the startup script to include the -d daemonize option and removed that suffix. But that was after the problem was already solved.
