Have you tried checking "Allow windows to overlap the shelf" in
"Shelf Settings => Stacking" for that shelf? I tried this, and
allows GKrellm to stay at the top of the screen (I have my shelf
at the top-center, rather than the bottom). If it's not checked,
then GKrellm gets pushed down, as Mick and darken K have noted.
I seem to recall this being standard operation in Gnome 2, as
well. My GKrellm is version 2.3.4, the latest available from
Fedora, and I do have "Remember screen location [...]" checked.
(I've always left the shelf's "Allow windows to overlap the shelf"
box unchecked, on the theory that it would keep windows from
"hiding" under the shelf. Alas, not all programs do the Right
Thing. The GIMP has some filter control windows [I'm looking at
you, GREYCstoration!] that not only appear under the shelf, but
are part way off of the screen -- I have to use <alt-lmb> to drag
the window back down. But that's a GIMP problem, I'm sure, not an
E problem.)
