Re: gkrellmd question

after running 6 hours the system did not duplicate the client once.
weird behavior but running client/server fixes it.

i doubt it is any compatibility issue with gkrellm and kde4. i am going to place the 
problem into kde hands and see what they think of it. obviously it should not be doing 
that. i will also place the problem in the gentoo forums to see if it may be a system 
upgrade issue as well although the behavior is only with one application and only within 
kde4 and only when run as a standalone application and not client/server which to me 
points to something inside kde4.
