[Bug 71164] System Monitor Processes listing should give indication that it is updating

[Paul Sladen]

Public bug reported:

When viewing a fairly consistent/static Process list in the GNOME System
Monitor it is hard to know that the list is actually being updated in
real-time at ~1Hz.

System Monitor should give some indication that the date is updating. On
the command line, 'top' achieves the 'throbber' effect by showing the
current time (HH:mm:ss) and uptime.  'watch' achieves this effect by
showing the current date and time.

Both tools also show the update-frequency;  perhaps this could be shown
as a combo-box.

** Affects: gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
