same problem,

if I launch conky from the command line it stays behind other windows correctly. If I launch it from startup it is always on top.

x64 9.04 with Compiz with NVidia drivers.

Set

sh -c "sleep 15 && conky"

as a start - works great. You can change "15" in secs if you need (in my case 15 seconds is enough).

Its because conky need to wait until compiz will start completely.

yup.. like xtoudi said, need some delay before loading conky in my case 25s
