Just a little update on my side.
I've just found that if i disable transparency own_window_transparent = false the image variable works as it should.

Same here. But in my case I can do this for fix (KDE systemsettings -> Display & Monitor):

Any other option causes the problem.

BTW, own_window_transparent = false fixes problem for me, but conky's window loses transparency at all.

[Galcian79]

Fixed after a recent update.

[Caellian]

@evgeniy-harchenko let me know whether the issue persists for you after updating. I'm assuming it had something to do with KDE, and closing as wont-fix for now.

If you still have the same problem, I'll reopen the issue.

[evgeniy-harchenko]

@Caellian unfortunately, updating (conky 1.22.1-pre-97b4ec7d compiled for Linux x86_64)
did not help. But I found interesting behavior: images appear when the screen orientation (in KDE settings) is changing.

For testing:
Mintaka.tar.gz

[Caellian]

Sounds like buffer isn't being committed at the right time then.

[evgeniy-harchenko]

BTW, night light breaks it too.
