Bug#439829: cpu-freq-applet: Problem switching from "Graphics only" to "Text only" mode

[Marcus Lundblad]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.18.0-4+b1
Severity: minor

Hello.

I have the CPU frequency applet set to display only graphics (just the bar).
If I change this to "Text only" in the settings, there is no text at all.
I then check "Show CPU frequency as percentage", now the applet displays "59%".
If I then change it back to "Show as frequency" the text gets updated to "1,60 GHz".

Also if I stress the computer (making it scale up the CPU frequency) the text display gets updated. So I suppose there is a redraw missing when switching mode.

I don't recall seeing this bug (prior to Gnome 2.18).

I may install the source, and take a look at the code...

Thanks.
