Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

The network history graph always begins at zero KB/s, then increases to the current value, then tracks that value through time. Compare this to memory and CPU, which both start at the current value then track it.

Please ensure the graph shows the current value as soon as it starts being drawn, rather than beginning at zero.

Yep, same on Karmic.

I guess the software must start with a value of zero which then gets replaced by real data - but that zero gets graphed. So don't start graphing until you have a real data point.

Or alternatively, just get your data when you want to start graphing (instead of the other way around)
