 |
|
Hi All:
I have emerges qps, which is Qt based, and its an excellent process monitor. However, I'm using xfce so would like a 'qps-like' process monitor that is written in GTK. Qps is ok but there is a log lag when I call it due to Qt having to load. Xfce4-taskmanager is a bit simplistic as it doesn't show process trees or threads which is why I like qps.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
John |

I use gnome-extra/gnome-system-monitor. It gives a lot more info than xfce's.

Yah, I emerged gnome-system-monitor and found that it doesn't give me much more than the xfce4 taskmanagerand its more of a resource hog.
qps is still better, its just a pitty that its using Qt.
On another note, have you noticed instability with the notification daemon and the xfce4-panel notification area when you run Qt based apps? I had HUGE panel lock up problems all traced back to Opera. I switched to Chrome whic is GTK based and all the problems went away. Yesterday at work I left qps running for a few hours and presto, panel lock ups again. Close qps, restart the panel and problem goes away.
I wonder if any of the xfce devs are aware of this.
Cheers,
John |

I don't know, I've had to stop using xfce because it became too unstable. I've been using gnome for 6 months. I tried using xfce again a few weeks ago (there's been lots of updates), but it was slow to load, and gobbled up memory like it was a fire sale, eventually crashing. I've found gnome much better, stability/memory wise. I do miss the xfce weather applet though, this gnome one sucks by comparison. xfce has seemed to go downhill since about 4.2, at least for me.

GTK+ only TaskManager:
http://oliwer.net/b/gtaskmanager.html
It's forked from Xfce4's one. |
