@vorlon - I have been in two minds about even putting a gui tool into the upstream package; we already have a few scripts which set some sort of precedent, but they are all cli-based.

Adding gui tools is naturally going to increase the dependencies. To try and minimise these, I've coded the monitor to not need any GUI libraries to keep the spec for actually using this utility (in some fashion) to a minimum. However, I'd personally rather not also require additional tooling like Glade as it increases the requirements and might be an extra barrier to entry (well for some - for others not using Glade might be one I suppose).

Thanks - I've updated po/.

@xnox - I'm not sure about Qt: it might be appropriate for Ubuntu specifically. Since this monitor app is so simple, I do wonder if it could be implemented in a few lines of QML anyway? Maybe we should just opt for a good old curses interface ;-)
