Are you sure gkrellm was installed without error? Try to find the executable and verify it exists. Start gkrellm with the -o (on top flag).
If that does not work, then you have to tell the window manager to keep gkrellm on top.

it says this:
Code:
[1]5676


And start gkrellm but is not allways on top :cry:
just unmerged and merged again, but the error persist.
Looking the gkrellm website i found this:
Code:
AfterStep: You need to add an entry to your "database" file which is usually in one of these directories:

      /usr/share/afterstep
      /usr/local/share/afterstep

but i didn't find any folder with that name
then:
Code:
Fvwm2: Add the following line to a sensible spot in your .fvwm2rc

      Style  "gkrellm"  Sticky,WindowListSkip,CirculateSkip

But where do i found that file? 8O

Help will wellcome
Thanks a lot

Saludos

assuming your running flux/open/black-box
run it in withdrawn mode (gkrellm2 -w) and put it in your slit. then set the slit to be always on top in your /usr/commonbox/init file
