5.Issue:
    1st Issue: Segmentation fault
alexanderlee@lee:~$ conky
Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none.  'yes' seems to be some form of 'true', so defaulting to right.
Conky: desktop window (14000a8) is subwindow of root window (1a6)
Conky: drawing to desktop window
Conky: drawing to double buffer
