lxpanel Needs Memory Meter

[Kuya Marc]

Similar to "CPU Usage Monitor", the Memory Info from Task Manager (lxtask) need to be available for lxpanel, especially for users of 512 MB RAM and less. It should be similar to what is being used in Gnome/Unity, showing the following pieces of info:
o RAM Used
o RAM Free
o Swap Used

Additionally, it should show an indicator of 'cacheing' when the CPU is at maximum (per CPU Usage Monitor) when the system freezes for "out of memory" conditions.

The Memory Meter is NEEDED because having a frozen system with excessive hard drive activity isn't useful at all.

Did you check Resource monitors in Ubuntu 12.04? It doesn't show swap or cache, but very useful anyway.

I think resource monitors does more what you want. for ram. It also launches lxtask by default. But if you want to show cache or more advanced features on a system with low ram easy workaround would be resource indicators to launch the htop as the additonal refrences does this solve your problem?
