In theory, yes.

The desktop file is in /usr/share/applications/hildon/conky.desktop.

It's contents are:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Conky
Icon=conky
Exec=/usr/bin/conky.sh
Type=Application

It launches conky.sh which looks for a conky.conf in MyDocs and launches conky with that, otherwise defaults to /etc.conky.conf.

So you should be able to clone the desktop file and Exec conky directly with a line like:

Code:

Exec=`which conky` -d -c path-to-my-conky.conf

You might want to change the Name field in the cloned desktop file so you can distinguish between your Conkys. You may even want to change the icon, but then I expect you'd need to make your own icons and update the icon cache.

I've not tried any of this yet, so YMMV
