At the risk of asking too much, is there a way for you to package your config for me or do a P2V? I know absolutely nothing about the level of customization you guys do. I really like your desktop in particular
I'm not sure of an easy way to package everything, but strip out the personal information. The key elements to the style I'm currently using is the buuf icon theme, Ubuntu font, screenlets desktop widgets, and conky.
This is my conky config, but it may require tweaking to work right on your setup. I also STRONGLY discourage studying my config as an example of conky scripting. I have a bunch of mistakes, and general bad practices with my config, but I got what I wanted, and left it. Some time, I want to go in, and get everything cleaned up, but I'm a big proponent of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it school" :^)

Edit:
I missed some of the code copy/pasting. It's corrected now.
