Ubuntu conky autostart problem

[SystemCrash86]

Hey Guys, I have started using Ubuntu 13.04 more and I am having trouble using a program called conky to personalise my screen. I have windows 7 and a program called rainmeter which I used and had no problems. However in Ubuntu and using rainmeters equivalent conky I am having an issue getting the widget to start on boot and am not sure what to do. I have two more widgets on my desktop and they load when my computer does so I am really stuck as to why this one doesn't.

In the screenshot the "CPU/RAM/SWAP" and "MY COMPUTER" widget are the ones that load on boot and the lsd chain Red Queen is the one i am having the issues with as it wont load on boot. I am also having an issue trying to move the text "machine" (at the top) to one side so the word can be seen better.

The config file that i am working from for the "Red Queen" widget is as follows:

#
# FOREWORD:
#	The original idea came out from the Resident Evil movie
# 	When initial wallpaper was created, the next decision was
#	to enhance the desktop look and feel with some widgets
#	After a small research of widgets available for Ubuntu
#	I came up with decision to use Conky and stumble upon
#	post of Georgi Karavasilev on how to set up Conky on Ubuntu
#	(http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/smarten-up-your-desktop-with-this-conky-wallpaper-combo)
#	Then, when I was reading comments to his post, I found a nice desktop 
#	sample of Conky on John Murray's computer which was heavily based on
#	VinDSL work (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1771033)
#	This is how the first version of conkyrc came out
#	Later, during next attempts to improve look-and-feel of
#	the whole Red Queen Theme, I tried to enhance it with
#	hexagonal grid and found a brilliant usage of it by
#	Carley166 (http://charley166.deviantart.com/art/conky-conf-265502178)
#	This is how the current version was borned
#	During my work on using hexagonal grid as a placeholder of
#	conky monitoring I decided to use best of both conkyrc from
#	John Murray and Carley166
#
# HOW TO INSTALL:
# 1. Unpack zip file to your home directory, you'll get new folder called conky_redqueen
# 2. Create .fonts directory in your home folder
#		For example, your hole folder is: /home/redqueen
#		Run following command to create .fonts folder in it:
#			mkdir .fonts
# 3. Install Conky by running following commands:
#		apt-get install conky-all
# 4. Optional: if you have Ubuntu 12.04, you need to update Conky by running following command
# 		sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vincent-c/conky
#		sudo apt-get update
# More information can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1771033
# 5. Copy all fonts from conky_redqueen/.fonts folder to .fonts folder inside your home directory
# 6. Reload fonts by running following command inside your .fonts folder:
#		fc-cache -fv
# 7. Setup wallpaper from conky_redqueen/wallpaper as a desktop background of your Ubuntu
# 8. Run conky by executing following command inside your home directory:
#		conky -c conky_redqueen/conkyrc
#
# HOW TO STOP:
# 1. Locate conky process by running following command:
#		ps -A | grep conky
# You should get something like:
# 		8987 pts/0    00:02:27 conky
# 2. Stop process by executing following command:
#		kill 8987

I did that and it didn't work, i changed it then i rebooted and nothing.

I have conky manager and its set to run at boot and it works for the other two widgets just not this one.

I made the script executable and place it in Startup Applications and still nothing. It still doesnt load on boot

[SystemCrash86]

as an update, i also tried to use the terminal to run conky as well and it showed a few errors that i have no idea how to fix
