This looks like a common issue with Conky and graphics. You can try enabling double buffering:

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

or fiddling around with the own_window, own_window_type, and own_window_transparent settings.

they are already defined as: double_buffer yes no_buffers yes text_buffer_size 2048 own_window yes own_window_type override own_window_transparent yes own_window_hints undecorate,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below – m3asmi Jan 15 '16 at 15:25

I've gone back to dig into my old .conkyrc configs. I had this the following, which I think solved these issues for me: `own_window_type panel` `own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager` – matthewhuie Jan 15 '16 at 15:46

I solved the problem by own_window_type normal
in the file ~/.conky
