Fraid not, Dale. I had a kernel upgrade this morning, so a reboot was in 
order. I had set up a window rule to display the three gkrellms on Desktop 4, 
but they still appear on Desktop 1. Your idea of logging out & in didn't help 
either.

Looks like I'll have to exclude gkrellm from being restarted on login.
