What gives with gtk apps like gkrellm on KDE

Wasn’t that fond of KDE Plasma jumping to wayland initially, but for the most part haven’t suffered too much… but now a bit peeved since a short while.
I’ll explain, I’ve been using gkrellm for a LONG time, I have it docked on the upper left hand corner of my screen and everything has always respected its ‘docking’ nature by leaving gkrellm alone and aligning on its right hand side.
But now all apps, including the desktop background(dolphin, firefox, all maximised apps) unpolitely ignore the presence of gkrellm and are consequently partially occluded by it.

Is there something new to configure bringing back previous behaviour?

cheers

Dear @richard ,
I’m entering this ‘from zero to hero’ competition.
Created an empty panel on the left and dragged gtrellm onto it.


The arguments of the gkrellm application:
-g +0+0
should the last position be not saved.
This panel and the monitored contents in it are not occluded in my tests.
At the end I covered this ugly G with a weather widget.

well, unfortunately a kludge doesn’t fix interoperability between wayland & xorg, but for this particular case it is effectively the only solution I’ve been able to come up with on short notice.
Thanks for the confirmation, cheers.

Well, my poor English…
So, this is 'clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend, and hard to maintain. ’
For me the whole Plasma 6 wayland is a adventure playground for beta testers.
But still supports a 20 years old gkrellm app.

@richard ,
If you can bear krohnkite tiling window manager, install

kwin-scripts-krohnkite

and set Geometry / Left gap as wide as your gtk app needs. 100 for gkrellm
Desktop Session Restore should be ‘On last logout’ of course.
