Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor
I have my screen resolution set at 1680x1050. The smallest I can make this app is that it still occupies about 1/6 of the screen area. This is really bad use of space - an app like this should be able to operate even when its window is taken down to the size of a postage stamp.
Not only that, but when operating at its smallest size, - it shows 3 graphs, the height of the graphs is in total less than 20% of the window height, the rest is just wasted space.
The important things in the voids between the graphs, such as the key and the scales, should plip out of existance when the graph gets below a certain size.
When the graph is bigger, these problems are mitigated somewhat.

This makes "Resources" almost useless for me. About 10% of the window is used for data. As described above, the rest is 10 numbers, huge icons, a couple of chartoons (for memory use) and a lot wasted space.
Attached is an example.
