The current implementation of the indicator that the paraguay builds
use has static 'computer' icon for the frame. The palette menu
displays the memory and cpu 'free' status by means of dynamically
updating text-labels and progress bars.
1. Would it be worthwhile to have the frame icon dynamically

I am not sure how important memory and cpu are to the average user but
there's plenty of room in the fr

I think its an great and necessary idea.
In the field, kids learn that the computer has limits only by the painful
way. Last year, in our first 4000 laptops deployment, just a few dyas
later, kids were complaining that "la compu" (the laptop) was "dying".

That's a great question!
Sugar presently lacks a means to display the current status of system
resources such as free memory, CPU load, etc. I'd like form an opinion
as to what should be the ideal way to make these numbers available to
the user.
Perhaps an icon (or a set of icons) could be added to frame to
