O.k. So I'm finally going to request something, too :)
Can we have Conky 1.3.3 in backports. It is in dapper (http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/conky) and besides it fixes some minor bugs and now supports utf-8 for .conkyrc
Best, mr_pouit
[+] In fact, conky 1.3.4 has been released, but hadn't hit dapper for the moment. :D
