Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Jaunty Beta KDE 64bit AMD Quad 8gb Memory 9600 nVidia Gforce video card.

Multiple issues of System Info Plasmoids keep installing. As many as 4 or more plasmoids install on top of each other. It has happened a couple of times. At first I thought I maybe multi-clicked, impatient for an application to open, however, it has happened a couple of times since I removed the extra issues.

The border around the plasmoid is transparent, so when the border becomes opaque, I am alert to the fact that multiple instances of the plasmoid are installed. I have to unlock each layer and remove it to get to a single installation. I like having the system info available and therefore would like to keep the plasmoids, nonetheless, of the 20 that are on the desktop, most end up with as many as three duplicated issues from time to time.

Additionally, they do not necessarily have the exact same data on them. The degrees of measurement from one to another may be slightly different, or the network addresses may differ a bit. Each seems to differ from the other like-plasmoid in its readings. Even that seems somewhat logical, keeping in mind that subtle changes are constantly taking place, and each issue may be slightly out of sink, based upon the instant it appears.

This appears to be a problem with the third party system monitor superkaramba widget, and not with the NetworkManager plasma widget. I would recommend reporting this bug to the author of the superkaramba widget.
