Ubuntu – Removing conky drop shadow

11.04compizconky

I've started using Conky with 11.04 and want to remove its drop shadow.

I've tried setting any & !(class=Conky) in the Shadow Windows text box of the Window Decoration section. This works. However, every time I try and use either the global menu or an app indicator menu, compiz crashes. Not all the time, it seems quite random on which menu it chooses to crash on, but it happens enough to not use this method.

So I was just wondering if there was any other way of removing the shadow from the Conky window.

To solve these problems, don't paste the settings for opening in a new window, just delete the code.

What to delete (usually if you copied the code, it has this): 

#Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar
background no
