I testet a iso from my friend maik, and he has setting conky under Gnome.
I was looking about it, and use it now under LXDE. So what is need?
LXAutostart, there you can type under Show > OK type conky &, click on OK and restart your Session.
Now it's should start conky. Or what is your issues about conky?

Adjust?
Config file is stored under /etc/conky/conky.conf, here can you make your personal settings...

my issue with it??.. where to begin ??  prolly my biggest issue is that you almost need to be a coder to set it up ..  then when I finally got it up on the desktop.. it didn't pick up any of my sensors .. then if I clicked the desktop it went poof .. ..

tried gkrellm and it picked up every damn sensor in my pc ..  ::) ::) got more sensors than I can shake a stick at  :o :o

Well all right Leiche! Was just getting ready to ask about the temp thing on the new .38.2pclos1 kernel and saw your .conf file had "${hwmon temp 1}°C" instead of "${acpitemp}°C" which is what I had using my .conf with the default kernel (2010.12). need to reboot again to see if it still works with the old kernel or not, but the temp thing was the only thing really keeping from trying the newer anyways.
Thanks a bunch! ;D

mine is about as plain and simple as it gets

my issue with it??.. where to begin ??  prolly my biggest issue is that you almost need to be a coder to set it up .. 
Trust me on this, No you don't ;D or I'd have never got it to work. You Do need to spend some time trying different things and different .conf's to see if you like them or they look how you want. The number of time I've felt like doing a Berserker on it was only a couple (well....maybe 5-6) times ;D ;D  gkrellm always worked nicely when I used Mini-Me but I wasn't ever able to get it to do the transparency thing so I've kept to conky. Good luck with what ever you use.

there is a theme for transparency ..its called invisible I think.. looks real good.. the only thing with gkrellm is that it will not allow anything over it on my lxde desktop..

You might look in the .conf file for gkrellm (or the /.config/autostart if you have a .desktop for it there) and see if there is a "alway on top" (or words to that effect) line and put a "#" in front of it, or if it says "yes" change it to "no".

These lines need to be in your config:

own_window yes
own_window_type conky
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,sticky,skip_pager
