upstream suggested these steps: ``` Does moving/renaming $HOME/.gkrellm2 avoid the crash? I think I have seen crashes before with certain older gkrellm themes, starting with a fresh configuration would avoid that. Another try would be to start gkrellm with all debug logging enabled from a terminal and see how far it gets, i.e. gkrellm -d 32767 ``` can you try them and let this bug report know? thanks
