One cool way to achieve that would be to include a system monitor applet
in the default panel configuration. What do you think?

Hi,

These requests should really be filed upstream. 

Anyway, I don't really see the logic in finding gnome-system-monitor in
the context menu of the panel. As you can see yourself, it doesn't
include any application launchers at the moment. Besides, the panel is
usually covered by applets.

I'm not sure why former windows users should need access to this app so
often, it's more of a tool for power users anyway. If easy access is
needed, some of the same functionality is available as applets, and it's
easy to add a shortcut.

Bug#417991: gnome-panel: gnome-system-monitor as panel right-click entry

2007-04-05 Thread Michael Gilbert
Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.3-5
Severity: wishlist

windows users expect the "task manager" to be in the right-click menu on
the "task bar".  in order to ease their transition and provide quick
access to a useful tool thats used relatively often, it would be nice to 
have access to gnome-system-monitor in the gnome-panel right-click menu.

thank you for your consideration.

mike
