I AM using v2.1.7, did look at the start-options gkrellm --help, wasn''t there,
but now that you mention it, had a look at configuration -> general ->
properties and there it is, sorry!

Did that with /usr/local/etc/xfce4/xinitrc (the only xfce4 related xinitrc I
could find). Commented out the xftaskbar4& line and added xfce4-iconbox&
instead (there was no commented iconbox line).
After restarting XFce4 I had both the taskboar and the iconbox! The only way to
get rid of the taskbar was by commenting out the taskbarline in
/usr/local/etc/xfce4/xinitrc, so apparently XFce4 looks at both files during
startup?
