I have a dual core CPU in my computer (Core 2 Duo), and as a result I have two CPU Frequency applets in my gnome panel.

As shown in the attachment, recently, the second one has shown a blank grey square rather than the icon it used to. The applets are on a gnome bar on my second monitor of my wide desktop.

This could be fixed by either:

Making CPU Frequency Scaling Applet show a dual core cpu as two cpus/bars automatically. This is good for quad core cpus too as you can imagine.

Fixing it so that you can have multiple instances of this applet, one per core/cpu.
