The attatched patch adds network history to the system monitor. The Resource Monitor tab got a little crowded so I moved Devices to a separate tab. Screehshot: http://home.tiscali.se/elisabeth.ejdestig/procman-network-history.png Remaining issues: * I currently use if_nameindex() to get a list of interface names to pass on to glibtop_get_netload(). if_nameindex() is glibc specific, right? If so, the libgtop API should IMHO be extended to provide the very same information. GList *glibtop_get_ifnames(void) or something more glibtop_get_mountlist()-ish? * What about glibtop_get_ppp(). Not needed here (Linux, RH9), how about other platforms. If it's needed...well...quite a predicament. * Devices are still in the Resource Monitor tab in the prefs dialog. If we go down the "Devices in a separate tab" road this isn't right. Are tabs really needed for the prefs dialog? Seems like all tabs quite easily could be consolidated into one (i.e. none) without bloating the dialog. (The Processor Fields is history once we have a column-chooser in GTK+? Do we really need to expose three individual update intervals in the dialog? Taken to the extreme, do we need update intervals at all? Shouldn't this Just Work (TM)?) I'll update against HEAD and add it to bugzilla if you guys/girls think this is feasible in the 2.6 timeframe. The only hindrance in my view is the if_nameindex() brouhaha and the API/ABI freeze approaching swiftly. Comments? Oh, almost forgot. Please Cc me since I'm not subscribed. Martin Ejdestig
