To make gkrellm in windowmaker stick to all of your workspaces right click on it's title bar and select configuration (or hit F1) There will be a selection under monitors that is titled General, select that, There is then a tab on the right that is titled properties, Select that, and check the check box next to sticky state. This will give you what you want. You might also want to adjust the width under General> Options> GKrellM width to match your other docked apps.

I didn't know if I whould ask on the technical list seeing as IMHO this is a pretty n00b question. See I've got quite an extensive linux background so I figured it can't be that difficult on freeBSD. I've played around with BSD once or twice (back in version 3 and 4) but never for very long before giving up and moving back to SuSE. However, this time I think i got the bull by the horns! I've migrated all my stuff from linux to BSD (workstation wise) there's just a couple of outstanding issues. Ie. KDM/GDM needs to work properly, as other people use my machine for an X server. And i am currently still sorting out mailman with postfix. Which was my own fault as to why it's not working. However, there are two things that are bugging me. Whenever I leave X, the console seems to get darker, eventually I can't see it anymore, and have to reboot to sort the problem out. I feel this could be video card related - I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 with the latest NVidia drive. And I have disabled the AGP, ACPI is also disabled otherwise X just hangs. So I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to what this might be? And second I dunno how many of you use gkrellm in windowmaker but, i can't get it to appear on every work space. This I am sure, is a real dumb thing on my part because i feel it must be something really simple. Other than that however, everything is going great! Let me know if this is too technical for a newbie list so that I can put it on the tech list too if need be.
