I've finally ported the applet to gtkmm 2.6, which means that it no
longer needs to depend on libgnomemm and libgnomeuimm.


What's new:

  - Now requires gtkmm 2.6 and does not depend on libgnomemm and
    libgnomeuimm.

  - A few bug fixes.

  - Lots of translation updates.


Features:

  - monitor CPU/memory/swap/disk usage, load average,
    Ethernet/modem/wireless throughput, internal temperatures,
    internal fan speeds

  - multiple views that all support multiple monitors:

     - a curve view with smooth lines
     - a bar view with wacky horizontal bars
     - a column view with ultra-clear vertical blocks
     - a text view for those who want extreme precision
     - a flame view to impress your friends

  - a modular design for future enhancements

  - well-behaved GNOME panel applet (no floating gkrellm windows)


The source can be downloaded from here:

Screenshots are also available from the above page. The applet
requires at least Gnome 2.6 and the gtkmm 2.6 and related gconfmm and
libgnomecanvasmm libraries from www.gtkmm.org. Note that you need to
install libsensors and setup lm-sensors with your kernel if you want
to monitor temperatures and fan speeds.
