I have a couple of oddities that I hope someone here can clarify for me.
OS = CentOS-5.2 all updates applied to date.
1. On the gnome desktop in the top panel (or menu bar) I have an icon for "System Monitor" which runs the application "gnome-system-monitor". On my other desktop CentOS-5.2 system I have the same thing. However, one one system the icon gives me a real time (ok 5 sec intervals) display of cpu load as cyan and white bar graphs . On the other system the same application gives me a static, sickly green and yellow, display of an oscilloscope. How do I get the dynamic version of the icon? I have checked and both systems are running the same version of the applicvation from the same location. /usr/bin/gnome-system-monitor --version = 2.16.0
2. On the same two systems, the first (the one with the dynamic display) has entries on the system dropdown menufor locking the display, logging out and shutting down. On the second all I have is logout and suspend. Going to the Gnome Menu manager does not give me any option to add the missing items.
Can somebody tell me how to get these minor, but for me very desirable, changes made to the second system? The only difference between the two systems that I can recall is that one (the first) was upgraded from 4.6 while the second (the more limited unit) was a clean install.
Sincerely,
