 From the Sessions option that Bo mentions, you can also set the "style" 
of the currently-running gkrellm to "restart", which means that gnome 
will always run a copy of gkrellm, even if you quit the current copy 
somehow.

I find this useful for gaim, for example - the program will always be 
running, even if I accidentally close it.

As long as you use this session at login time (by default, you do) this 
means that not only will gkrellm be started at the beginning, it will 
stay running throughout.
