Conky shows a black background until I press CTRL+H in Nautilus, then it becomes transparent

Question

This shouldn't be a repost, I have looked through every article I can imagine is relevant, but nobody seems to have the same problem I do. First off, this is my first question ever, so I'm sorry if I mess something up here.

Ok, when I boot my computer, I log in, and everything goes great. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with all kinds of compiz effects enabled, and conky running. I set up conky to autostart following the guide found here: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/08/install-reloj-conky-in-ubuntulinux.html (this is the exact theme I am using)

The only issue is, which I found to be very strange, is that Conky shows a black box underneath it until I open up a Nautilus window and hotkey to show hidden files. Then it refreshes and is transparent like it should be.

This is more of an inconvenience than anything, since I do have a work around for it, but I wanted to know if there was some way that this issue could be addressed without the need for me to push extra buttons every time I boot.

Start Conky Script:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 20
conky -d -c ~/.conkyrc
exit

There's not really anything else I can think of that would be relevant. I have used Ubuntu tweak to change some settings with unity and gconf to change some transparency settings for menus. If there is other information that would be helpful, I would be more than happy to throw it up here on request. Thank you for any help guys!
