cpufreq panel plugin for Xfce4
------------------------------

This is a work in progress!

To put this in perspective, this was written in about two hours, ripping off
xfce4-battery-plugin's battmon.c for starters and stripping it down to a single
progress bar that reports how fast your machine is going relative to the top
CPU speed.

The build system is minimal and expects Xfce to be installed in /usr. Edit
the makefile if that is not the case.

Moreover, it was started *during* a talk at Debconf5, after realizing that
GNOME panel applets would not function in Xfce4.

This is one of my "learning" projects. For this reason I've not integrated
this CPUFreq support into the battery plugin, and I've also learned how to
use gettext without having to rely on automake. So despite the fact that there
are only 5 messages to translate, gettext will be used to translate these
messages into a huge number of languages!

TO BUILD
--------

You need these packages in Debian:

pkg-config
libxfcegui4-dev
libxml2-dev

1. Type 'make'.
2. Become root.
3. Type 'make install'.
4. Exit root shell.
5. Type 'killall -USR1 xfce4-panel' to reload the panel
6. Add the CPUFreq Monitor to your panel and enjoy.

WHAT IT DOES DO
---------------

* Displays the current frequency of the CPU, in GHz or MHz as necessary.
* Displays the frequency relative to the maximum CPU frequency as an
  accordingly colored progress bar.
* Works with both horizontally and vertically aligned panels.
* Provide configuration to select which CPU to poll.

WHAT IT SHOULD DO BUT DOESN'T
-----------------------------

* Somehow use the panel plugin as an interface to set the clock speed.
* Provide more information in tool tips.
