What I do to accomplish both is to use a small script to start conky multiple times, using multiple configuration files. In this script you can issue a command to delay starting a specific conky instance until a certain amount of time has passed. For example, I autoload/start a file in System->Preferences->Sessions, a file I called "/home/matthew/conky/start_conky.sh". When you write yours, be sure to alter the permissions to make it executable. This is all that is in that file:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 20 &&
exec conky -d -c ~/conky/conkyrc_main &
sleep 22 &&
exec conky -d -c ~/conky/conkyrc_weather &
exit

The sleep commands cause a pause, in seconds, before the next command executes. Then, I run conky twice, each time calling up a different configuration file instead of the standard .conkyrc. This file starts my main conky instance 20 seconds after it is run, and the weather instance two seconds later.

Play around with that for a while and see how you do.

I needed some fixes in weather.xslt to address the problem with error:
XSLT-apply-templates: could not compile select expression ‘dayf/day@d=’1”

Search all ‘@’ clauses and edit from
dayf/day@d=’1′
to
dayf/day[@d='1']
(add []’s)

see http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/x... for details.

Now it works fine. Here’s my final weather.xslt:
================================================
<!–

This XSLT is used to translate an XML response from the weather.com
XML API.

You can format this file to your liking. Two things you may feel
like doing:

1) Modify the layout of the fields or static text already defined
2) Add other fields from the XML response file that aren’t referenced in this
XSLT. You can grab a full list by just doing a:
wget "xoap.weather.com/weather/…
(change $LOCID and $UNITS to suit your needs)
