conky uses 100% cpu after starting it and moving the mouse (XMonadContrib)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start conky
2. try to resize the conky window (set it to float)
3. cpu usage goes up to 100% but ONLY if you have conky on your focused
workspace

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Output is alright, conky does what its supposed to do.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
conky:
Conky 1.5.1 compiled Fri Apr 25 08:16:25 EST 2008 for Linux 2.6.24-ARCH (i686)
on Archlinux 2.6.25 ARCH 

xmonad version:
xmonad 0.7

Please provide any additional information below.

If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue
with 'Component-Contrib' below.

This is still an issue, but adding <code>, className =? "Conky"          --> 
doIgnore</code> to the 'myManageHook = composeAll' section of your xmonad.hs 
will 
make Xmonad ignore Conky, and it'll work just like it does in any other window 
manager.

Almost certainly a Conky bug, it must not like being resized.

The problem disappears if you recompile conky with XDamage extension disabled.

I'm not too sure about #2 resizing but with xmonad and a focused workspace on 
conky, the CPU spike up. I went into my ~/.conkyrc and found out that 
commenting out "own_window yes" will solve the problem.
