I don't know, if this is possible (but i would think yes):

It would be nice, if the conky extension were configured in the way that by default conky, if started, looks for the user configuration file ~.conkyrc; and only if ~.conkyrc is not there (or if there is no X11 at all) it goes back to /usr/local/share/conky/files/conky.conf (or /usr/local/etc/conky/conky_nox11.conf).

Conky DOES use  ~/.conkyrc  if it exists.
Download a copy and keep it handy: Core book ;)

You're right, my fault  :-[ . If conky is started as user.

I was confused, since i've to start conky with sudo to get the complete (signalstrength, bitrate) wireless infos (from ifconfig or iw, not sure in this moment how conky get's its infos about wireless). If i start conky with sudo it falls back to conky.conf.

What happens if you put .conkyrc in /root ?

A symlink would be the same?
