KSysGuard seems to have a pretty complete implementation, but it's not in a
library to link against. So, we could either harness ksysguard's
implementation, ktimemon's version, move SK's sensor/meter stuff into some
centralized location or some other solution that isn't obvious to me.
The code for ksysguard is located here:
kde3.5/kdebase/ksysguard/ksysguardd
It seems all three try to do the same thing, so it only makes sense. Is there
a way to make this more of a service than just a central resource for all
apps? We could avoid some inefficiencies that way and work towards a plasma
implementation.
