====== Task Manager ======

===== Future Goals =====

  * <del>Use [[http://www.nongnu.org/gksu/|gksu]] to restart the application as root</del>
  * <del>A settings dialog</del>
  * A properties dialog to inspect processes with information like ''lsof''
  * Running debugging tools like gdb/nemiver or strace
  * Switch between liststore and treestore
  * Add a menu bar (optional Ctrl+M)
    * Menu item to switch to another view with monitors for network/disk io/etc
  * Retrieve application icon/name without windows/without libwnck -- has to work for graphical applications hidding in the background / notification area

===== Floating Ideas =====

  * API changes:
    * Replace ''memory_buffer'' and ''memory_cache'' with ''memory_inactive''
    * Add datetime of process execution
    * Add pid_is_daemon() in order to display a skull icon in front of uninterruptible disk sleep / daemonized tasks
  * Update the status icon with a graph
  * Application actions “Bring to front” and so on with an optional dialog for n_window > 1 (libwnck)
  * Show CPU usage text "insensitive" when 0% -- makes it easier to distinguish if yes or no a process is using CPU cycles
  * <del>When terminating a task, unselect the row</del>

===== Options =====

  * <del>Toolbar style with label/icon/both</del>
  * <del>Show/hide application icons</del>
  * <del>Prompt for terminating tasks</del>
  * <del>Draw monitors without borders (gtk_paint_box)</del>
  * Allow custom user-settable signals

===== User Suggestions ;-) =====

  * <del>Add a text entry to filter tasks</del>
    * It is already possible to type in the tree view and type up/down arrows to jump from one task to another, which is more than enough
  * Draw multicore and Mem/Swap with several lines on the same graph (cf [[http://github.com/chergert/uber-graph|uber-graph]])
  * Allow keyboard shortcuts, possible user-settable, ideally with delete key defaulting to killing selected application.
