Re: [gnome-love] Intrested in hacking gnome and doing gtop tree view

[Kevin Vandersloot <kfv101 psu edu>]

Hello. I might be interested in doing this, but I don't have a ton of
experience. It seems like it would be the simplest to just use libgtop
and write a nice simple gui on top of that. I don't have the skill yet
to write a backend that is portable across the various platforms. I went
ahead a created a preliminary glade mockup of what I thought would look
good and here is a screenshot:

 I agree that simplicity would be key here. After all I basically use
gtop to see which process is consuming 99% cpu and kill it.

Regards,
Kevin
