conky goes above windows but it goes below when windows are floating in

Symptom

conky goes above windows but it goes below when windows are floating.

How to Reproduce

Launch Krohnkite
Launch conky with any config including this:

own_window = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_type = 'dock',
own_window_class = 'Conky',
own_window_argb_visual = true,

See conky above windows

Expected behavior Conky should run below windows, because it hides when window is in floating mode.

List of KWin scripts in use: MinimizeAll

Sorry, I completely forgot to mention the release here. v0.6 is uploaded to the KDE store, and this problem should be gone by default.
