Maybe no one else notice / reported the problem. I know I have tried to explain what start-stop-daemon needs in another bug report, because that seems to the source of the problem. Perhaps another read through of the start-stop-daemon manpage (which is quite helpful), and remember that gkrellm is the one that should be creating the pidfile through the equivalent of gkrellm --pidfile (IIRC you need --pidfile twice in the start script, once for start-stop-daemon and once after the -- for gkrellm, but I could be misremembering that; the actually commandline needed is in the bug report).
