Do monitor plasmoids work for anyone?

[Ian Pilcher]

I'm not sure when I first tried to use one of the monitor plasmoids
(CPU Load, Hard Disk I/O, Network), but it's been several releases, and
none of them have every worked for me.  None of them show any activity,
and the respective settings dialogs show no CPUs, disks, or interfaces.

I haven't been able to find any messages in any log files that look
related.

Do any of these monitor plasmoids work for anyone?

Just successfully tested the CPU, memory, disk monitors on my f26 box

So, yes, they can and do work (for me).

Just tried and they work for me.

But I don't use them, I still prefer GKrellm...

Missing ksysguardd dependency:

Thanks!

Ian suggested subpkgs for the plasmoids, but I'd rather just add a 
dependency on ksysguardd, which is pretty small and only brings in one new 
small dependency: lm_sensors-libs

Otherwise, we can just go with 
Recommends: ksysguardd

Opinions on hard vs soft dep here?

Going with hard
Requires:
for now, holler (with justification) if you feel otherwise.

Correct call, IMO.  Soft would be OK if the plasmoids gave any sort of
indication what's going on, but they don't.

I was only able to figure it out by stracing plasmoidviewer.  The first
mention of ksysguardd was about line 25,000.  :/
