Re: The system monitors

Thanks a lot!  However if I search through the files making up my theme
(blueHeart - another reason I can't leave IceWM :-), I can't find any
reference to the color identifiers named in themable.h, and it appears
my theme uses the default colors, which I was able to find in the source
code (if anyone wants to know what they are, follow up and I'll post).

I would have sworn that disk activity was reported by this monitor, but
it appears not to be so.  IIRC, the colors that I was associating with
disk activity are "user load" and "system load".  Maybe these things
encompass disk activity? (me, sheepishly ignorant -> :-})

I did wanna ask one more thing, which is the thing that really spurred
me to finally post this: lately my machine will suddenly start showing a
high level of interrupts (the third item on your list below).  I have no
idea what causes this, and it goes on and on until I reboot the machine.
I know this is (probably) not IceWM related, but if anyone has a clue
what could be causing this, I'd be grateful for the advice :-)
