Found a workaround! Place conky & in startup script after the xcomp lines. Place after where shows wicd & etc as shown in my startupfile
# ADD APPLICATIONS YOU WISH TO LAUNCH AT LOGIN IN THIS SECTION

# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
#
# unclutter -idle 2 &
# wmnd &
# wmsmixer -w &
# idesk &
skype &
#start xcompmgr if direct rendering is enabled
