> I changed the default background color of all the "System Monitor" gnome > panel applet graphs from black to white. However, when the applet loads > (when start an X session) the graphs are initially all black. As > seconds pass, the applets records a graph with a white background, > eventually replacing all of the black background. > > This "start with a black background" behavior happens via another means > as well. If I right click on the applet and select Preferences, I'm > presented with a window that has "Monitored Resources" such as > "Processor" and "Swap Space". If I disable, then re-enable a resource, > all the graphs to the right of the toggled resources are disabled then > re-enabled, exposing the "start from black" behavior. > To clarify what I mean by "graphs to the right": > > 0) Set the background of all resources to white. > 1) Enable monitoring of all the resources > 2) Toggle (disable then re-enabled) the "Processor" resource. > 3) Notice that all the other resources graphs are blanked with black and > gradually fill with white as the graph is recored. > 4) Toggle, for example, "Swap Space", and notice only the "Load" and > "Harddisk" are reset to black. > > I described this black background bug in March 26, 2006. I was confused > why my bug report was hard to reproduce, since doing so seemed trivial. > I upgraded to the most recent version to follow up on the bug, but I was > disappointed the bug hadn't been fixed yet I couldn't think what to add > to the bug report. I was about to give up, when I noticed that the > about box on the applet still said "System Monitor 2.14.3" when I know > I had just upgraded to System Monitor 2.16.1. When I left clicked on > the applet, the window that appears has it's own separate About, which > DOES read "System Monitor 2.16.1". > So I luckily figured out that these are two separate software packages, > despite the "About" box both naming themselves "System Monitor", and the > close (one left click) user interface association. Please consider > changing the About for the applet to read "Gnome Applets: System > Monitor" or "System Monitor Applet", so future bug reports are more > likely be filled to the correct package. The bug report from March > 2006 is Debian Bug 359966. Hi, Thanks for the bug report and the clear instructions on how to reproduce it.
