Issue

Occasionally - I am unsure just when - Conky does not appear when the PC resumes from sleep. Conky is running, but not visible.

Information

Conky: 1.7, from git. 1.6 had the same problem.

My conky script is complex and runs other things (mostly lua scripts, but a few C executables and some some shell that I call directly from within Conky); but those things have been carefully honed (and have timeouts) and I did not have the problem until recently. I do not know just what changed to cause the problem.

Here though is the 'config' part (in fact, file) for one of the scripts. (I run substantially the same Conky on two PCs, and both have the problem. One change I made round about the time the problem started - but, perhaps, a little before it started - was to put the 'config' in a separate file on each PC.)

Ever since I employed a workaround to fix a separate problem (#417), this problem - Conky not showing after sleep - has failed to manifest itself. EDIT: the problem was caused, definitely, by if_pa_sink_muted: see #417.

I have not tested yet how Conky is after sleep, but if_pa_sink_muted does, as of at least Conky 1.12 , appear to work again.

I spoke too soon: if_pa_sink_muted never fires. Do please fix this. For, as I said here, the workaround is elaborate and processor-expensive. EDIT: indeed, it increases the amount of CPU used by my Conky by some 20%.
