Moin.

Start conky from X-terminal with " conky " and post the output/errormessage.

Sorry for my English :-)

Uninstall conky if already installed using application manager.
Install conky deb file with application manager.
Enable the Conky desktop applet to show Conky. Disable it to close Conky.

Bug[s]:
Conky is not startup friendly. It will not show on bootup even if the applet is enabled. Disable and re-enable the applet to view conky again. I tried many variations of an init script, sleep etc to no avail. I give up on that front.
It flickers. Double buffering stops it but matchbox hates it and goes white. fms is right, be nice if it didn't use an xwindow for drawing...
