Inclusion of xfce-taskmanager?
 

Hi All,

One of the xfce-goodies that I've found to be useful is the xfce4-taskmanager package.* It's a simple graphical utility that allows the user to see running processes, memory consumption, etc.* You can also kill running processes from this utility.


Among other things, I've found this utility to be helpful when killing a non-responsive program, as sometimes the top command doesn't always display the name of the non-responsive application.* In those situations where I've been using top, I've had to guess at the name of the application when using the killall command.* Using the taskmanager utility has always allowed me to see and take action on the non-responsive app.


If we have the room on the cd, and assuming that the application hasn't been excluded for technical reasons (i.e. excessive memory usage / memory leaks or known bugs), could we include this as part of the default installation seeds?* I think it would be an easy thing to include that would provide added benefit our users.


Jim

Also - w00t for the release of xfce-4.6-rc1.* :)

If I remember correctly xfce-task-manger was dropped in favour of
gnome-system-monitor when "it was decided" to include the gnome
libraries in Xubuntu.

Yep, Gnome's System Monitor allows you to do the things mentioned above and more.

I think that Xfce task manager was previously default for Xubuntu.

As I remember last time I used it, it had issues like memory leak/lockup
and I switched to gnome-system-monitor myself, before it became default,
only because of misbehaving Xfce task manager in that time.

I don`t know how Xfce task manager behaves now..
