It's probably ten years or more since I configured the Sysguard app in one of my panels. Today I wanted to change the config.
I found I could remove a display but I could only add blank displays which I could find no way to configure.
It took me three hours but eventually I succeeded by restoring my ~/.trinity/share/apps/ksysguard/KSysGuardApplet.xml from backup and then manually editing it WHILE TRINITY WAS NOT RUNNING.
Is there a better way to configure the Sysguard app in a panel?

It might be one of these apps that are not used too often and obviously something is broken. Why don't you file a bug, so that someone has a look into it?
I'll wait a few days in case someone knows how to do this but if not I'll file a bug as you suggest.

Nobody else seems to be responding to what I *believe* you are asking, so I am going to take a stab at this, and at least clarify for myself what is the problem.
Do you want to add ksysguard to the panel (lower, upper ...)? The lower panel tends to give me problems, as well, now and again, so I avoid it with a kind of primitive superstitious dread. But is done simply enough: just find the icon (start menu under System heading), then drag it to the panel. Unlock the panel before doing this, then unlock it; if not, my panel gets messed up, and I can waste a whole day just trying to put things back right.
Or, what seems more likely: Do you want to configure your ksysguard *after* it has already been added to the panel? I don't see the problem here, as it can still be opened from the start menu, and configured there.
I am assuming that, by sysguard, you mean ksysguard, but I could be wrong. And it could be that you are talking about some other problem entirely beyond that, as this doesn't seem so big a problem.
And then ...
Okay, so I just tried it myself. I don't use ksysguard so much nowadays, although I used to keep it running all the time. And everything seemed to work just fine ... until, as you say, I added it to my lower panel, then opened and tried to configure; all I get is a blank page, no way to change, no way to add a running intance, etc.
Now my ksysguard also is not working, even though I have added it to the panel, then removed it. Now when I open it from the start menu, or by using alt-F2, ksysguard opens, but with a blank page, instead of showing running processes.

Not so on my system (14.2): - add ksysguard to panel - 2 sensors show up, one blank - open ksysguard application - select any sensor from the tree view - drag it over to the ksysguard panel - select which type of graph you' like to see - done
ksysguard application starts with a treeview left and an empty section on the rigt: - file/new worksheet - select how many raws and colums - drag the sensors you'd like to see over from the treeview - done
On a sidenote: once upon a time I had kysyguard running ll the the time, but nowadays I use conky :)

Thank you Nik. That works. I was mistakenly trying to use right-click to configure the blank display in the app in the panel rather than dragging a sensor from the application.

I don't know how old ksysguard is, but there are a number of older apps that do things in non-"standard" (non-modern?) ways; e.g. in Konqueror, to change the View Mode via the toolbar one left-clicks and holds the widget and after a moment a context menu is displayed. I almost always forget to hold down the button, and nothing happens. There are others that I've come across, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Hi William,
I had a long reply to you ready to go but Nik just posted the solution to my problem - drag a sensor from the ksysguard application to a blank display in the double-d ksysguardd app in the task bar. Thanks for your input!

I know that I sign everything William, so I get that a lot; but once we are acquainted, I tell people to call me Bill, which is how I sign my emails.
Sorry to miss that long response, but I am glad to contribute however I can. Nik, as usual, stole my fire.

Oh, didn't intend to. When I read your mail I just remembered that ages ago I stumbled over the very same behaviour of ksysguard and had a hard time figureing out what's going on. At that time I had a T60 with libreboot running my mill - all powermangement turned off. So I needed something that told me if the CPU was going to overheat or not - which it never did as I made sure the fan ran at emergency speed all the time :)

Not to worry. I was just joking. I ought to remember that jokes don't always translate so well; some do better than others, but jokes, wordplay and poems seldom survive translation yet convey the original sense.
Just so everybody knows, I am usually looking for somewhere to insert a joke. If readers sometimes don't get me, just assume that it's another one of my jokes that misfired or went off the mark.
If I have something really serious to say (e.g., if I am really annoyed with another person), then I can be very direct.
Not so in this case, just joking. Always a pleasure to hear from you, Nik. Most other people here, too.
