Are there any errors or other output when you run it from a terminal?
I have tried running conky in debug mode from the terminal, there are no
errors.
There was a conky update in October... perhaps file a bug on it and
see
if the older version still works?
I just cheked, my old settings[fn:1] still work on my F13 Thinkpad but
fails on my desktop. So the problem is probably local. Both machines are
run in a dual monitor setup. I'll try to get more detailed test tonight
and report back. If everyone thinks its "bug-worthy" I'll file a bug
report this weekend.

Thanks for your response. :)
Footnotes:
[fn:1] own_window_type set to override. When set to desktop it behaves
as I had described earlier. I think that is why I chose to use override
in the first place.
