I'm the author of System Activity in KDE. It pops up if you press ctrl+esc in KDE.
It has some of the features of atop. For example, it shows the disk IO usage, lets you see and set the CPU scheduler and I/O scheduler, etc.
It also has javascript scripting support which is used, for example, to show detailed memory information for a process etc. And shows the window title for each process - very useful if you have multiple firefox programs running etc.
Anyway, check it out. My aim has to been to make it as simple to use as possible.
