Yeah, I had a look and it seems that might be possible, the trouble is
timing.

Running the command:

$ sed -i -e '/v\(eth\|net\)[0-9a-f]\+/ d; /br-/ d' ~/.gkrellm2/user-config

just as I click "Restart Self" in the FVWM menu isn't sufficient, as I'm
basically racing gkrellm.  Is there a signal that it accepts to tell it
to re-load its configuration file?  (e.g. like -HUP does with some daemons?)
