Conky does not autostarts at login in Xfce Desktop #3

When you put following command in Startup Applications in xfce, it does not works: conky -c /path/to/file.conf

But if you add just conky command in Startup Applications then conky with default configurations is launched as expected.

How to load conky with custom config file in xfce?

If no config file is mentioned in conky command then default config file ~/.config/conky/conky.conf is considered by conky. In Cinnamon -c flag works fine. I don't know what is the issue with Xfce.

So, to be able to run conky with custom settings in Xfce you can add your configurations in ~/.config/conky/conky.conf file and add just conky command in Startup Applications in Xfce. With this approach you can not load more than two conky instances in Xfce as I do. (I use a system info panel and a clock)
