Workaround:
Replace
     Type=forking
with
     Type=simple
in the unit file.
Apparently, gkrellmd does *not* fork and return, so Type=forking is incorrect.

There is no gkrellm(d) in testing at the moment and the one in unstable 
ships a systemd unit that doesn't use "Type=forking". It sounds like the 
package is either outdated or not from a Debian repository.

FWIW, GKrellM >= 2.4.0 ships a systemd unit (which does not use forking 
either).
