I've taken the new gkrellmss.so compiled from the tarball with that one  
call commented out, and put in in ~/.gkrellm2/plugins, and it seems to  
be working fine.  I'd still love to know if the error is due to some  
misconfiguration on my machine, or do I just chalk it up to "blue magic  
dust and phase of the moon?"

Anyway - thanks for getting me to a version that works.
