Comment 12 for bug 1014494

With Xubuntu 12.04 and prior, indicator-multiload worked well. However with Xubuntu 12.10, it seems that indicator-multiload is loaded into the Xubuntu "indicator Plugin" which only allows an Icon width, causing indicator-multiload to display very small and is essentially useless.

 I however found that executing it as root, causes indicator-multiload to load into the main panel and it works correctly. It might be a security risk, but to do this, edit the Xubuntu startup item and change the command to gksudo indicator-multiload. At least in this way I can use this great app.
