The code for this is based on IceWM from Marko Macek +(http://www.icewm.org). Other operating systems such as NetBSD, OpenBSD or Sun Solaris are supported +by libgtop2 from the GNOME desktop (but GNOME is not required by this library). This is because I +have no testing machines for all this operating systems and some systems require a Client/Server +model, i.e. there are root permissions needed to get out system load and the Xfce4 panel is not +running suid root. The library made this easier to implement (it's implemented by the library and I +didn't have to do that). -The code for getting the netload is based on IceWM from Marko Macek.
