gkrellm and fvwm are competing for a grab on the pointer. The
beep indicates that fvwm has finally given up. Make sure you don
not have any mouse bindings like

  Mouse 1 w ... Function ...

in your fvwm config. And ask the gkrellm people to use the
method defined in the wm-spec aka EWMH spec to move their windows
rather that doing it on their own. This would avoid the problem
altogether.
