Bug#1027895: conky-all: Conky window does not appear on second monitor

[Tecnosegugio]

Package: conky-all
Version: 1.17.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tecnos...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Conky-all 1.17.0-1 does not place the conky window on the correct monitor.

I have two monitor, the second one is placed above the main monitor and I have
configured GNOME to extend screen on two monitors.
I'm used to place conky window on the second monitor, the one above the main
monitor.

Tried to edit xinerama_head value in .conkyrc file but nothing works.

Tried to edit the alignment_* values but every changes seems related to the
main monitor and not on the whoile logical screen.

Downgrading to conky-all 1.12.2-2 restore correct behaviour

Does this behaviour change if you switch between X and wayland? Can
you try using the config settings `out_to_x` and `out_to_wayland` [1]
accordingly to see if it makes any difference? Wayland support was
recently introduced in conky so I'm wondering whether this might be a
factor.

As an interim hack, I think you can try playing around with negative
values for `gap_y` to make your conky output display on the desired
monitor.

Please also report this bug directly upstream at [2]. Thanks!

Don't know how to enable wayland but I think I can't because of the Nvidia
driver. My previous attempts to enable it always failed so I still stay with
Xorg.

Yes this worlaround works. 
Using:

gap_x = -780,
gap_y = -1440,

I can see the conky windows at the right place.

Done!

Thank you.

Version: 1.17.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #1027895

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
Upgraded to 1.17.0-1

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I have a multipanel conky across 3 monitors. After upgrading, only the primary monitor was working. Seems conky is no longer getting correct xinerama area for my screens.
I attempted to change the gap-x & gap-y parameters but to no avail.

* What was the outcome of this action?
See above.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected to see my panels spread across all three monitors.
