Bug#254710: gnome-cpufreq-applet: makes gnome-panel *agitated*

[Thomas Breitner]

Package: gnome-cpufreq-applet
Version: 0.1.3-1
Severity: wishlist

hello,

when enabling "Show CPU frequency as frequency" or "Show CPU frequency 
as percentage" the width of the applet changes according to 
frequency-chances - in my case:
"1 GHz"	 needs less space than 		"733 MHz", and for all systems:
"100 %"	 needs more space than, say	"73 %".

as a consequence, the neighboring items in the panel were *moved* with 
the changing width of the cpufreq-applet, and the whole panel looks 
*agitated* (sorry, i'm not a native speaker; hope *agitated* is the 
right word...)

further: disabling the %- or MHz-Stuff is not a real solution. 
again: in my case, the status of the applet when showing 73 % or 100 % 
is very similar - compared to the size of the whole applet i think 
there's more space for showing the difference of the frequencies.

kind regards,
thomas breitner
