Conky Reset (conkywonky)

I have noticed that the conkywonky default script is a little flawed. When running xcompmgr and using the reset, any existing windows on the screen will tend to become deformed until you re-highlight that individual window. I have come up with a simple 4 line replacement script that kills conky, then kills xcompmgr, then loads conky, then reloads xcompmgr. In this fashion, the windows will blink and may move to another location on the same workspace, but the end result is that the windows have no deformality.

This is a video to the simple 4 line script i changed conkywony to in action:

Here is the simple replacement script:

#!/bin/sh
killall conky
killall xcompmgr
conky -q &
xcompmgr &

With this script, if conky is not running, it will be started, and if it is running, well, it will be reset.

EDIT: I hope this is the correct section to put this in. If not, I am sorry, please if you are a moderator, move this to the correct location.
