Bug Description

I've installed indicator-multiload in Mint 13 (64-bit Cinnamon) and when it's activated, it is contained to a single space on the panel. You actually have to reduce the pixel size to 25 in order for it to display in full size. If you add any options to it, it shrinks the indicator to accommodate those extra options (i.e. Memory or Network). I've not tested with Ubuntu 12.04.

It works fine in Mint 12 Cinnamon as well as Ubuntu 11.10 with Cinnamon.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) with Cinnamon 1.4.0.
With Ubuntu 11.10 it was all ok

I'm seeing this on my work computer (Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit) when running the "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME with Xmonad" sessions, but not when using the "Ubuntu"/Unity session. I'm not seeing it at home under GNOME with xmonad, though... (Also Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit...)

I at least sort of figured out my problem. It looks like I only want to use indicator-multiload with Unity, and want to use the corresponding applet (maybe) with XMonad. I appear to be able to add it with alt-right-click in the panel area, and it uses up plenty of space. indicator-multiload should probably work better too, but this is good enough for me.
