The Bubbling Load Monitor (or "Bubblemon" forshort) is a system load monitor for the GNOMEpanel. It looks like a vial containing water. Thewater level indicates how much (electronic) memoryis in use. The color of the liquid indicates howmuch swap space is used. The amount of bubblesreflects the system CPU load. A message in abottle indicates there is unread mail. A reed-likegraph shows network load. On multi-core systemsthe CPU with the highest load will bubble in themiddle, and the others on the sides, so it'spossible to see how well load gets distributedbetween CPUs.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Network interface detection was changed to useioctl() rather than guessing what interfaces areavailable. Some phrasing changes were made tobetter match other GNOME applets.
