I am running KDE 3.5.10 on Fedora 8. For a long time I have used the System Monitor and System Guard applets for some compact blinkenlights on my system's activity. Recently both applets have started showing constant 100% activity all the even though the System Guard application (from Ctrl-Esc) shows only 5-10% activity when my machine is quiet. I have sat and watched actual CPU activity sorted by User or System and never see the activity reported by the applets. I use GKrellm and it doesn't show such high usage. I've also watched top and have seen nothing. It is as if the scaling function for both applets broke and even restarting KDE doesn't fix things. I can't think of anything I did - the change just happened. All else on the machine is normal. I'm stumped - these are handy applets but now not so useful. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
