Public bug reported:

After my upgrade to 12.04 I have noticed that conky 1.8.1-6 will seg
fault when started.  Oddly enough, if you simply wait "long enough"
(maybe 5 or 10 minutes after logging in) then it starts just fine.  The
problem is easily reproducible on my systems (2 64-bit systems that have
both recently been upgraded to Precise).  All I did was:
1. Upgrade existing system (with conky package) to 12.04
2. login to gnome (I'm using gnome shell but I believe it also happens in Unity)
3. hit ALT+F2 and attempt to launch conky

I had it core dump and this is the backtrace that I got from gdb.  I
didn't attach it due to the size of the file (27MB), and the fact that
it is easily reproducible:

I'm not sure if the problem occurs with a fresh install of Precise.  It
may be the case that a fresh install followed by apt-get install conky
will work fine.  Both of my systems were upgrades (clean 11.04 install,
then upgrade to 11.10 followed by 12.04).  Again, if you simply wait for
a while (not sure how long) then conky starts up without issue.
