Description Ray 2011-06-17 18:31:11 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

The System Load Viewer widget changes size every few seconds, causing other panel components to be moved and redrawn (which is quite distracting).  It appears as though the memory bar may be disappearing (and, therefore, this may be related to bug #272830).  I have it configured to show all CPUs on a dual core machine (although the problem happens either way).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
just add it to the panel




KDE 4.6.3 on Fedora 15; kernel 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64

This is slowly driving insane too. It only happens on my x86_64 system. My 32 bits F15 is fine.

$ kwin -v
Qt: 4.7.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.6.5 (4.6.5)
KWin: 4.6.5 (4.6.5)

Thanks for reporting this bug.  When this issue occurs, do you have any swap space enabled on your machine?  Also, do you have the exact same symptoms as described in the bug #272830 ?

Make the swap disappearing issue more robust.

Before there was some questionable logic surrounding the swap detection
code.  Make this logic more understandable and robust.  This should fix
random resizes that occur for some people.
