I think you're confused as to what gkrellm is. The website is www.gkrellm.net

Essentially it's a system monitor that has the capability to check mail (as well
as a few other things), either locally or remotely. In my case I have it call
'fetchmail' every 10 minutes. It checks my local mailbox every 5 seconds for new
mail. When there's mail I have the option of calling a mail reader. So I pop up
an Eterm and run mutt.  

Thus, there would not be a TERM=gkrellm; it doesn't make sense.
