Very weird.
Yep.

Just a couple thoughts. You could try changing " own_window_type monitor" to " own_window_type desktop" or " own_window_type normal"

Have you tried changing "background" to no?

I don't think you need (I don't think it's used any more) " own_window_class Conky" , I'd just put a # at the beginning of the line to comment it out to see if any thing happens and either remove the line or just leave it there, as is, if not after a logout or even a reboot. 
Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

Hi weirdwolf,

Thanks.

I did before.

"own_window_type desktop" solve the problem when I click the "minimize all windows" button, BUT conky disappears when I click on the desktop :(

The others settings, "normal" and "background no" have the same problem, conky dissapears when click on "minimize all windows"

Yes, "own_window_class Conky" doesn't affect and I can delete it.

This is a LXDE well know bug, it's discussed on many distro forum based on LXDE and is discussed at the LXDE forum too.

My solution:

I deleted the "minimize all windows" button and added a second desktop (I had only one). Now I have a clean desktop when I want... :)

Well there you go, I've been doing that on every install for the last few years ;)
