Had the same problem as you. Solved the following way:
$ export LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO-8859-1
$ gkrellm &

So it seems like an internationalization or character set issue. You can make a wrapper script to start gkrellm this way, e.g.:

[patola@bmw patola]% cat /usr/local/bin/gk
#!/bin/zsh
export LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO-8859-1
/usr/local/bin/launch /usr/bin/gkrellm
