I was pretty sure I did say I would remove it, but reading my previous
mails, it seems not. No offense Kodis, but it seems that from what I've
gathered on IRC and my own experience 1) nobody uses stripchart 2) the
UI is not as per the Gnome guidelines (no menus, nothing).

It's the only app that was left in the gnome-utils that used libgtop
(gdiskfree is not portable to gnome2 because of the missing GtkDial, and
procman includes these features), and the applet library (gcolorsel's
applet code was removed a while ago, and gcolorsel is to be punted,
maybe, see other mail).

If John Kodis feels really strongly about and can tell that he will fix
stripchart UI-wise, we can still revive it. Otherwise it will have to
move to its own module.
