OK, I just finished processing and uploading a current application based
desktop screenshot, so I can refer to it now when asking questions.

So here's my first, based on that:
As you can see from the link, I have a decent bit of screen space
(~1500x300 px) dedicated to a ksysguard kicker applet, with 16 plotters
each ~93x300 px. They are, in order from the left: #1-4 CPU activity
percentage plots (2x dual-core, plotting the standard user/niced/system/
idle percentage for each), #5, one minute load average, #6 RAM usage (app/
buffer/cache/free), #7 swap usage, #8 disk I/O (multiple separate
volumes, stacked and separately r/w color-coded), #9,10, Network/Internet
activity, download/upload, #11-14, CPU/core temps, #15,16, system ambient
temps.
The trouble here with kde4 is that I can't find an equivalent plasmoid.
ksysguard is still around as an independent app, but I see no method for
embedding it in a panel, which is where I need it, so it's always visible
and doesn't either cover or get covered by apps unless I deliberately
move them underneath it. This is vital for keeping an eye on system
behavior.
The closest I can see to that is an appropriately configured super-
karumba plasmoid, and that's my current upgrade plan ATM, but it would
be /so/ much nicer if there were a simple ksysguard plasmoid to replace
the kicker applet, since I already have that configured and am even
familiar with the text configuration for it, as that's the easiest way to
make certain kinds of adjustments. Also, while it seems quite useful, as
I've never actually worked with karumba/super-karumba before, I'm not
sure if it can monitor all the same stuff, of course in addition to
having to learn how to do my own custom configuration.
So if there's such a ksysguard plasmoid out there, it'd DEFINITELY
simplify things. Anyone know where I can find such a beast?
