Created attachment 75921 [details] Patch I've added support for sensor displays in KSysGuard to have row spans and column spans. The patch is attached. Apart from adding rowSpan and columnSpan arguments to the method signatures, I've also removed the internal list (WorkSheet::mDisplayList) used to contain all the sensor displays. This list used to be used to derived the row and column of the displays based on their index in the list. Since I now need to maintain rowSpan and columnSpan information as well, I just removed the list entirely and get all my data from mGridLayout. As a result, another change in the method signatures is the replacement of the "index" parameter with "row" and "column" parameters. An extra advantage of doing it this way is that widgets don't shift around when resizing the grid. Another advantage is that blank spaces between the widgets are now possible. Not to mention, not maintaining the layout information outside of the actual layout component (mGridLayout) seems a clearer design to me. I have made the patch on top of kdebase4-workspace-4.9.4-1.1 which is the version in the KDE OBS repository for openSUSE 12.2. I did this because it was easier to do a zypper source-install + rpmbuild than to set up my build environment manually. (Also because I'm unable to clone any of the KDE git repositories without the server terminating it partway.) Affected files: ksysguard/gui/WorkSheet.cpp ksysguard/gui/WorkSheet.h
Patch looks good - thank you very much for your work. And very sorry for not replying sooner.
