It's fairly out of date (last update ~01/2001 - Gkrellm 1.*). However, there's a note just below the download links: GKrellM2 has builtin EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints) options. This is gold! Under Gkrellm: Conf.-> Gen. -> Properties tab, it's all there! You can set the sticky state, put Gkrellm below other windows, etc. Once again, beautiful. Thank you so very much for helping me out!
