From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: stracing the wireless applet shows that is keeps opening the same set of png files based on signal strength: ie, open("/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless-applet//signal-81-100.png", O_RDONLY) = 26 These are very small png files and can be stored in memory rather than re-read each time. This will help let the hard drive take a rest. The constant ticking of my notebook's harddrive gives me an ulcer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.2.0-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add to Panel -> Internet -> Wireless link monitor 2. strace -p <pid_of_wireless-applet> Additional info:
