Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

I can kill (only SIGSTOP, SIGCONT and SIGKILL I presume) and re-nice processes.
But I cannot re-ionice any.
I would say this is a missing feature more than a bug, but I feel it's a big miss as Linux supports io scheduling priorities and classes since 2.6.13 with the CFQ io scheduler (quoted from "man ionice").
