Hi,
I just installed and configured Conky, and I'd like to automatically launch it whenever I start a GNOME session. I expected to see some sort of Preferences>Launch Applications on Startup, some user-specific equivalent of rc.local, but there doesn't seem to be such an entry.
Any suggestions?

"System->Preferences->More Preferences->Sessions" comes to mind...

Hi, assuming the application can be started from terminal without issues you could go to:
System > Preferences > More Preferences > Sessions
And onto the "Start up" tab.
Click "Add" and here, you will need to enter a command (such as /usr/bin/conky)
Not quite sure what conky is, as I've never used it, so this may or may not work for you. But give it a try :-)
Hope this helps.

Here's an example of what Conky may look like, after a bit of tweaking:
