Well... I dunno ;) I created this text file, named it 'sensor-start'
and then 'chmod +x'd it and put it in my user .kde/Autostart/ dir
#!/bin/bash
sleep 2s
/usr/bin/kstart --ontop --alldesktops --skiptaskbar
/usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm
(the last two lines above are all on one line. There's no man entry
for kstart, but 'kstart --help' provides the options. The sleep 2
seconds is to give KDE plenty of time to finish loading, probly not
necessary. I'd give credit to somebody for this, but I don't remember
where I got it.)
... and it does auto start Gkrellm always on top, on all desktops.
BUT it doesn't skip placing the app notification on the taskbar
(panel). Dunno why? Probly somethin dumb and simple I'm missing.
BTW, I configured Gkrellm to only show cpu temp, minimum height (2p),
and 75p wide, and remember window position. Just fits on the top Window
title bar near the buttons (1024x768). I also edited
/etc/X11/fs/config , 'default-point-size = 130' (was 120) so that
Gkrellm's and other apps fonts are bigger for my poor old eyes. Another
mystery tho is that it still insists on showing my ppp load when I'm
connected (?) Bothered me at first, but now I sort'a kind'a like that

It's where I get most of my hot air ;~>>
