Bug#399365: gnome-applets: multiload autoscaler causes inconsistent graphs

[Matthijs Melchior]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.14.3-2
Severity: normal

This problem is most annoying in the network load graph, but present in all
autoscaled graphs.
Whenever the autoscaler changes the vertical scale, an inconsistent graph
with more than one vertical scale is produced.
Please redraw the history when the vertical scale is changed using the new scale
such that a conststent graph is always presented. This avoids the user's question
about the high network load a few seconds before starting a new activity.
Also, the usage percentage in guidance window should reflect reality, and not
incorporate the current graph scaling.
Maybe a logarithmic vertical scale would alleviate my annoyance with autoscaling.

Thanks,
	Matthijs Melchior.
