Description Donald Cohen 2011-10-06 19:57:38 UTC

Perhaps you can tell me where I should be filing this complaint instead of here.

I saw something about gnome applets going away in the release notes of fedora 15 but I had the vague impression that they were supposed to be replaced.

Basically stuff I had on the top panel before was very useful and what's there now is much less useful.
The main thing I want back is the multiload applet.  This is my constant clue of what's going on in the machine.  Can you give me some idea how to get it back?
Running the system monitor is not the same and takes way too much screen space.
I also had the cpu freq applet - can I recover that?
The current clock at least exists but
- it's very hard to see (dark gray on black) unless the mouse is over it
- it seems to use a variable width font that causes it to change width as the time changes -- distracting

I'm also having no luck with the gnome config editor, but I guess that's a different complaint.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 17:16:11 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 21:46:12 UTC

Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
