Ignore this it's an answer to question posted as a new post because of its length.
I've
changed things quite a bit (simpler conky config and a change of pager, for detailed info I keep htop & iftop in a Yeahconsole/uxrvtc quake like console) since I made the
original post here so before It gets deleted/lost/disappears into the mist of time here is the conkyrc that I think was use on the screen-shots in the original post.
