    Is there a recommended alternative ?
    I've got used to having it in the corner of a desktop

    The old homepage listed in the ebuild is gone but has moved[0].

    The live ebuild has the correct upstream repository so it seems like

    just an oversight to not update the homepage whenever that was

    changed.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, it only confirms what I've suspected: it's not maintained and nobody's working on a GTK+3 port [1].

    Yes, sadly, Bill passed away more than a year ago:

    https://mailproc.sbbsnet.net/list/gkrellm@lists.netservicesgroup.com?cmd=user_listview_msg&domainid=40&list=gkrellm&msg_idx=28

    But are you saying that if there was a GTK-3 support, then gkrellm could
    stay?

    Yes. And ideally a maintainer in Gentoo.

    Most importantly, it needs someone to take care of it.

    An active Gentoo maintainer for these packages (or the subset that's
    going to stay), that actually answers bug reports etc. is an absolute
    must.

    GTK+3 port would be nice — it would at least prove that people really
    care enough to do the hard work, and that we won't be removing it soon
    enough again because of GTK+2 being removed (not likely anytime soon
    but…) or because the code no longer compiles, or…
