[snipped lots ....]

The latest release of gkrellm seems to have been over three years ago,  
and unfortunately, I suspect there might not be another.  The primary  
developer died three and a half years ago, and while there is still  
some minor activity (or at least was last time I looked) nobody had  
stepped up to fully take over.  The current version still uses gtk+2,  
and based on the discussions, the way the program works is rather  
deeply embedded in the lower levels thereof, and  the port to gtk+3 (or  
even 4) will not be easy.

[I did not start a new thread, intending this just as a heads up in  
case any of the discovered causes of the posted problems end up due to  
anything actually in gkrellm rather then in the new KDE workings.]
