A plugin has to be written to handle the server possibility.  This means a plugin
needs to written to have a gkrellmd server module and a corresponding
local gkrellm module that will check for the presence of its remote running
plugin counterpart.  Unfortunately, there just aren't many plugins written this way,
but off the top of my head, I can list at least gkrellmwho2 and gkrelltop that are.
