[SOLVED][XFCE 4.6] Conky dies after start

I'm using conky to monitor some system's parameters. Conky is configured to lauch by "session and startup", but after panel appeating it dies. XFCE 4.3 haven't such problems. Conky is located in top right corner, and i have a panel located in top middle.

Does anyone have same issue?

Is it possible to have both conky and desktop icons? I don't use icons myself but I have been asked about it.

Yes. This is described in conky FAQ, q.5 http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html
Tested with XFCE 4.4.3, 4,6, conky 1.6.1

However, I don't use desktop icons too  :razz:
