However, it must use a command at some place in the startup of conky where you could add the necessary pause, such as that desktop file you show in your opening post.
Thanks for this hint! At Lubuntu 19.04, conky 1.10.8 finally works with the option you mentioned above. I have given conky -p 60 in Autostart.
For documentation purposes: Someone who wants to run conky on LXQt (and at Lubuntu), copy-paste /etc/conky/conky.conf to $HOME/.config/conky/conky.conf (create the directory if there isn't any). And set following variables in this file:
Code:
alignment = 'top_right',
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
double_buffer = true, -- works at Openbox stacking window manager. To be checked whether it is also working for compositing window manager.
I am setting this SOLVED.
