The code Jesse checked into trunk has introduced some formatting changes to graph titles that are still being sorted out.
Also, IMHO the hostname conversion shouldn't be done in each graph.d/ .php file, but instead done in ganglia.php. Jesse mentioned that there are issue right now with $hostname being used as the file name for the .rrd file. We should instead take this opportunity to implement a function to determine a UUID for the rrd filename (right now it will be $hosname). This way we can kill two birds with one stone. I believe Jesse was going to look into this.
