Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor
Add a 'Description' column to the GNOME System Monitor. GNOME System Monitor lists processes, and the processes can sometimes have cryptic filenames which the user does not understand what the process is for. So I suggest to create an 'Description' column to explain the process. The user sees "gdm", "atd", "cron", "trackerd", "nm-applet", "sh", and get confused because he don't know what it is. He look in the Description column and sees that "gdm" is "GNOME Display Manager", "sh" is "shell", and "nm-applet" is "network-management applet", etc. Because when a user checks the running processes and sees "gvfsd" he have no idea what it is, with this Description column, he can easily see that it is the "GNOME virtual file system daemon". * http://www.mistywindow.com/blog-images/software/windows/task-manager.png * http://attachments.techguy.org/attachments/131192d1209566643/windows-task-manager.png ** Affects: gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Description column for System Monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
