I don't. But I don't have a laptop and therefore no battery concerns. :(

I'm currently running Openbox and I have seen a lot of people who put
their Conky display in one single horizontal line at the top or bottom
and then set their window margins to leave this area untouched. I'm
not sure if you can do this with XFWM4. Probably. I do this with the
bottom of the windows to leave pypanel untouched and I also leave a
1px margin on the left and right which gives me a place to right-click
on the desktop even when windows are maximized.

The only thing I haven't figured out is how to get those two Conky
instances NOT to show up in pypanel. I can't seem to flag them as
hidden in  my pypanel config without screwing everything else up.

Hey, if this wasn't at least a bit of a challenge this wouldn't be any fun. ;)
