This has always been a question to have a quality conky installation on your desktop supporting images and other goodies.
To get it, you have to create your own rpm from the latest source.
Install dependencies:
sudo yum install libXft-devel libXt-devel libXdamage-devel libXext-devel dbus-glib-devel imlib2-devel lua-devel cairo-devel tolua++-devel imlib2-devel tolua++-devel libXNVCtrl-devel curl-devel libxml2-devel wireless-tools-devel
Get conky from the home web site. Get my spec file and place to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/conky.spec
