FWIW, I tried to contact the author with a patch a few months ago and got no reply. If it can be verified that he has actually dropped off the face of the 'net, then I might take over development of some of his projects. I've already taken over wmfsm, which uses the same convenience routines. In any case, wmmon is basically a complete app and doesn't need much more development. > Basically, it gave CPU, memory + swap, and disk I/O as three > separate displays.

Looks the part and does most of the job. $ apt-get source wmmon $ cd wmmon-1.0b2-3 $ fakeroot debian/rules binary $ dpkg -i ../wmmon_1.0b2-3.deb substitute the correct versions in there, but it's quite easy to rebuild debian packages from source.
