Still present in M8 x86_64-rc, gkrellm 2.3.11 and gkrellm-themes ver 20030129.
That themes version sounds like a (very old) date, but the 'invisible' theme, which overlaid the data transparently on the existing screen background, worked just fine until around the time of this bug report.

Mageia 7 is EOL since July 1st 2021.
There will not have any further bugfix for this release.

You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 8 as soon as possible.

@reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it.

@packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead.

This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.

Still Valid M8.  Tried it just now; selecting the 'invisible' theme instantly killed gkrellm.  I'd called it from the $ prompt, which then showed

[tony@tony-m2 ~]$ gkrellm
The program 'gkrellm' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 35456 error_code 4 request_code 56 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Still true in M9 cauldron, gkrellm version 2.3.11, release 3.mga9

gkrellm starts normally, but the instant the 'invisible' theme is selected it crashes.  Terminal window it was called from still shows:

The program 'gkrellm' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)'.

Its a tiny problem with easy work-around (don't choose it), but I happen to like the data showing overlaid on the normal screen background, rather than any of its other themes. Less screen clutter.
