OK, something ocurred to me: the error message says something about
"calendar". OMG, could it be? Yes, as I see my posts dates, apparently
the bug happens on fridays and maybe saturdays... Well I may be wrong,
but this could mean gkrellm crashes because the character string for
friday or saturday in Portuguese has some character that makes gkrellm
crash? A quick test changing the computer date will answer that...
CONFIRMED, the problem is the word in Portuguese for saturday:
"sabado". OK as this is obviously related to character set (as we can
see from the solution posted by Patola), please note that "sabado" has a
graphical accent on the first 'A' ("sábado") and my gkrellm shows the
first 3 letters of the day of the week. And this explains why the other
solutions I tried didn't solve the problem always. In fact, they did
not! What solved the problem everytime was the passing of time and the
change from saturday to sunday!
To make it short: with Kubuntu 11.10, gkrellm apparently now crashes
when trying to show characters out of the Ascii set.
