Is it possible? Set Conky's window icon & taskbar icon

[Botspot]

Issue

1. I'm using Conky to graph the performance of various file copy operations.
2. It would be awesome if conky's window icon could be customized. Right now, it's blank:

No this is not Windows, it's Linux trying to look like Windows. ;)

Information

Conky version 1.10.8-1 armhf

Anyone? @brndnmtthws @labath @ngaro

If you're under Xorg, you can use xseticon.
Also try playing with own_window_class - not sure it has an impact, but it might.
Or start it from a .desktop file - on some DEs that's enough I believe.

I'm hesitant to add another dependency to the software I'm going to distribute. xseticon will be a last resort.

Could you help me with that? I'm using LXDE, and here's the desktop file I made for it:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name=conky
Exec=conky -c /home/pi/ultiflash/config/conky-rsync.config
Icon=gparted
StartupWMClass=conky
Categories=Graphics;
StartupNotify=true

The file is located at /home/pi/.local/share/applications/conky.desktop

Expected behavior: Conky launches with the gparted icon.
Actual behavior: Conky launches with the same blank icon.

@ohnonot Do you see anything wrong with my desktop file? Or must I conclude that LXDE is not capable?
