After testing things out it seems like conky ${execi}, ${execpi} and
${texeci} are causing the bug whenever their update interval is greater
than current system uptime. Mainly due to the fact that other ${exec},
${execp} and ${texec} depends on the initial execution of the preceding
ones.

Example: Having $execi download weather data to an output file then have
another instance of $exec parse and format the content of the file for
output to relevant conky window.

Hence, conky crashing on system startup if it was autorun, as system
uptime is reinitialized, it is likely to be lower than the update
intervals set with $execi, $execpi and $texeci .

Hope this issue is resolved on main repository soon.

Note: Tried on a fresh (as of 2012-04-17) netboot amd64 (mini.iso)
install of Precise 12.04
