Thanks Timo. Let me, though, and briefly, restate my reasoning about the network problem: this problem makes it hard - impossible for some people - to do something many of them will have a strong need to do; therefore, whatever its origin, Mint should try to fix or work-around it. Compare: if I run a hotel and the government should provide my electricity, and yet fails so to do, then, while I wait for the government to fulfil its obligations, I had better install a generator. For otherwise my guests will leave.

For, in that scenario, nothing - no message, nothing - happens for over 60 seconds - and then, after the filesystem tab *is* displayed, the Monitor generates a hang prompt when I try to close the window. C'mon, guys. Also: surely the System Monitor uses too much CPU for something that measures the CPU. Linux Mint 17.2 x64, Cinnamon, on a dualcore 2.2Gh processor, on a good SSD. Laptop.
