I like the idea, so I wrote a little applet that does exactly that.
Well, trys to do, at least. I've got two problems:

1. I used the automake stuff generated by Anjuta, but that doesn't
support applets yet, so I can't compile the applet. Can someone give me
a hint how I have to change automake.am to make it support applets?

In the applets docs is an example of a Makefile, it goes something like
this:

FIXME, I need a newer example.

But that automake stuff isn't mentioned at all.

2. I scanned gtop for hours, but I just couldn't figure out how to use
libgtop. Can someone give me an example how to get the cpu percent of
each process? Every other information seemed to be easily available, but
I couldn't find that particular one.


So, currently, I've just implemented the GUI, but couldn't even test it.
Well, every help is appreciated...
