Bug 501056

Created attachment 179110 [details]
Text that cannot be removed / hidden and cores being shown instead of threads, while cores are actually missing

SUMMARY
The "Total CPU Use" widget's configuration doesn't work and when the widget is open, some information is either wrong or missing

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the "Total CPU Use" to the panel.
2. Change the display style to: text only.
3. Try to remove / hide that "Total Usage" text before the percentage value.
4. Try to change that "Total Usage" text to some other text.


OBSERVED RESULT
1. Both step 3 and 4 fail.
2. Unticking the "Show title" checkbox does nothing.
3. When you click on it to open it, it says: Number of Cores 8, which is wrong as there are only 4 cores on my CPU, but hyperthreading is enabled so there's 2 threads per core, making a total of 8 threads. Info Center -> CPU page shows this correctly.

EXPECTED RESULT
1. Be able to remove / hide that "Total Usage" text in front of the value as I don't need to be reminded each time what that value is for or to have so much space wasted on my task bar. If its really needed to be displayed, it could be at least when the widget is open, not when it's closed.
2. Unticking that "how title" should remove / hide that text or at least do something.
3. Either show "Cores" after the "Number of CPUs" and then "Threads" or just change the current "Cores" to "Threads" to be more accurate and not confuse people about their systems.
