Description Y.Nishiwaki 2009-01-20 09:31:14 UTC

Version:           1.0 Using KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)) (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

System Monitor Plasmoid doesn't load settings I set in last sessions.

I logged out and login, I see Systemmonitor Plasmoid run with default setting(all of Temperature, CPU, Network...).

I'm not sure, settings may be not saved.

I can confirm this is still the case in kde 4.2. Very frustrating with the network settings as every time I logout it defaults to showing all my interfaces (even the vmnet ones).

I see the same problem. The spesialized versions, "System Monitor - CPU", "System Montor - Network", etc, does however save their settings, so a good workaround is to use those instead. 

Plasma also prints the following warning for each monitor embeded in the System Monitor plasmoid:

plasma(7621)/libplasma Plasma::AppletPrivate::mainConfigGroup: requesting config for "System Monitor - Network" without a containment!

I don't see this message if I have "System Monitor - Network" directly on the desktop, but only when it's embedded in System Monitor.

In KDE 4.2 on FreeBSD, I am seeing the CPU system monitor show up blank when I log in.  If I remove the widget and re-add it, it works fine.  It seems there is a race condition where an underlying system that this uses to find the CPU's isn't started by the time this is ready to find the CPU's.
