Hi,

the bubblemon *looks* cool, but doesn't seem to provide accurate data. 
It is in disagreement about cpu/mem with all other monitoring tools.

I run the setiathome client in the background as a system user seti, and 
so my cpu load is always at about 100%, which both top and the standard 
gnome cpu load monitor report, but bubblemon reports values between 25 
and 60%. Also, my 768 MB mem are almost aways about 98% full, which both 
free and the standard gnome monitor reports, whereas bubblemon says 
something like 251/757MB.

Are you sure that you're not just reporting the cpu/mem load from 
programs which the user who is also running bubblemon are producing, 
i.e. that bubblemon isn't taking system loads into account?
