Indeed, the memory monitor's the only one that "doesn't work", but only 
insomuch as "mem" and "swap" are in the opposite order.  The rest look 
great.  Thanks so much.

Themes that have elements that seem like rapidly-changing horizontal 
bar-and-whisker plots (ones that remind me of K.I.T.T.'s "mouth" from 
"Knight Rider": e.g. H2O, MonkeyLovers, Skirellm, invisible) look a little 
"off".  (They now have the problem I had earlier, but in reverse:)

= chart1 =  became   = plot1  =   instead of   = label1 =
= chart1 =           = label1 =               {= plot1  =}
= plot1  =          {= chart1 =}              {= chart1 =}
= label1 =          {= chart1 =}              {= chart1 =}
= chart2 =          {= plot2  =}               = label2 =
= chart2 =           = label2 =                = plot2  =
= plot2  =           = chart2 =                = chart2 =
= label2 =           = chart2 =                = chart2 =

(The thin, horizontal plots are now visually grouped with the chart 
above, rather than the chart below.)  But, my preferred theme (Evolution) 
doesn't use those, so I'm not too affected, and overall so far, this seems 
like it will help me hugely.

Thanks again,
Ben
