The "crap" response is possibly because no one else on this list has
experience of your problem or fully understands what you are getting at.
Maybe those who do are too busy. Who knows?
Personally, despite using Debian for several years, I had never even
heard of Conky until I saw your original posting. Also, as I do not use
Gnome, I cannot help you at all, but also hope someone else can.
Just thinking aloud really, have you tried googling:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gnome+conky+problem
or
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gnome+conky+startup
Also, perhaps http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513440 is
relevant.
