After the last stable update, the plasma desktop does not respect gkrellm “sticky” state. Gkrellm only shows up on the virtual desktop in which it was invoked. Window rules don’t fix this. And I notice that having pamac rebuild gkrellm gives many errors of the form “[-Wincompatible-pointer-types]”
Maybe gkrellm is just RIP.
Have you cleaned your cache?
GKrellM depends on gtk2. It’s been EOL for 5 years and all related packages have been removed from the repos completely or dropped to the AUR.
Did you mean, Maybe gkrellm is just dead.?
FYI, R.I.P. stands for rest in peace (English) from the Latin requiescat in pace.
clearing cache did not help; RIP use is metonymy 
I have been using Gkrellm for at least 15 years and have not found any equivalent application in terms of graphic accuracy, particularly for displaying network data.
Does anyone have any suggestions for replacing this gem ?
