Panel object, system monitor, set to fulll width of panel, will reset aftter every restart to half the panel width.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Also, please answer these questions:
* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
* Which version of the applet and Ubuntu are you using?
* Is this reproducible with a new user created on your system?
This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem and resolving this bug.

It's totally happening every time.

Just install the system monitor object with default CPU on a clean panel and expand system monitor width to the maximum pixels in the object preferences, then reboot and the object is now only about half the maximum. It always resets.

I'm using 8.10 with proposed updates. I've seen this since 7.10.

I have some system/hardware issues that prevent from me checking this another user account.

Right on Pedro. Thanks all.

could you take a screenshot showing the issue? could you also try on jaunty?

Hey Launchpad,

Here's a couple screen shots. The first is with the system monitor applet fully extended on a panel across an otherwise blank 9.04 Jaunty desktop(Yes, Jaunty too.). The second is how it appears after a reboot.

Thanks for the patience. I didn't have Jaunty installed.

Thanks all!

I have had this same problem from 8.04 all the way though to 9.10 (just installed)

kinda annoying, but I have simply added fixing it to my post start-up routine, (typing passwords, mounting drives, fixing applets, etc...)

I would appreciate it if this were fixed, but in the meantime, just wanted to let you know that it has happened on every computer, and ever distribution (8.04 - 9.10) that I have used. (planning on putting Xubuntu on my grandfather's old computer so I will test it there as well)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Lucid or Maverick? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I still get this; still have to expand my CPU graph to the 1000 setting, it still resets to about 500 after every reboot, using Lucid with the proposed updates turned on. I haven't tried Maverick.

I figured it would be an easy nip and tuck for somebody. I don't think it's a huge deal, of course. I use a CRT here and recently tried using an LCD. This graph applet jolted with each update. Maybe I don't have the settings right, but if it does that on all LCD's, I could see this being a dead applet since CRT's are all but dead, or it might need some additional fine tuning.

@W_D Really enjoyed hearing somebody else was using this too. Feedback is fundamental. I'm trying to promote a type of fund raising for open source projects, such as Ubuntu of course, where you get a share ratio when you contribute cash or other resources to the project. It's a way of giving context to the contribution -so it's not a shot in the dark- and also a way to give credit to the contributor. I started thinking about this from my experience with bit torrent. Figured you might find that interesting.
