Any of those users logged in twice? e.g., 'w' reports three users on my 
system, purely as I've three xterms open, thus three seperate terminals:

$ w
 21:27:15 up 19 days, 23:43,  3 users,  load average: 2.32, 2.33, 2.28
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
chris    pts/0    -                Mon18   46:09m  0.14s  0.14s -ksh
chris    pts/1    -                07May05 25:11   1.11s  0.18s -ksh
chris    pts/2    -                Wed17    0.00s  0.25s  0.04s w
$

I have to say, I've not used gkrellm, so maybe I'm missing something 
horrendously obvious for those that do :-)
