This issue is a tangent of an earlier thread where I requested people to mention their reasons for staying with KDE 3. The System Monitor plasmoid seems to be a big enough single concern to warrant it's own thread. After going through the changes requested for the System Monitor plasmoid, I have broken the requests up into three separate bug reports:

1) System Monitor plasmoid: revert to single plasmoid https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191341

2) System Monitor plasmoid configuration requests https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191342

3) Please add System Monitor plasmoids that existed in KDE 3 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191340

Please comment on the relevant bugs, but most importantly, _include_screenshots_ of KDE 3. Assume that the dev who is reading the report and looking at the screenshot is _not_ familiar with KDE 3 so label important things and describe changes _in_detail_. When in doubt, ask here or contact me off-list.

Just to make it clear, I am not affiliated with KDE in any manner other than as an end user like you. My goal is _not_ to force people to abandon KDE 3 for a KDE 4 which does not suite them, rather, it is to identify the strong points of KDE 3 and to integrate them into KDE 4.
