The Runaway Process Catcher Applet

This applet shows a smiley which will get angry when any process catches up too much system resources. If an application uses too much, a messagebox will appear and ask you how to handle that application.

Clicking it with the left mouse button will show a configuration dialog. Here you can set the Update interval, which is set in seconds, and the CPU load threshold. At the moment, there is no real advice for setting this up, you will have to do some experimenting. These settings will probably change in a future release. There is also a section Programs to ignore where you can add applications that use many resources naturally, for example, compilers or 3D renderers.
