[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#474330: xfce4-cpufreq-plugin: should be able to display frequencies <1GHz as 0.x GHz

Package: xfce4-cpufreq-plugin
Version: 0.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
my CPUs frequency is scaled between 800MHz and 1,6GHz. This causes the
cpufreq plugin to change width on the panel (it uses smaller font to
show MHz values so "800 MHz" is smaller than "1,6 GHz"), moving
everything next to it.. this is quite annoying, so I'd like it to show
800 MHz as 0.8 GHz.
I wrote a small patch which enforces this behaviour and allows me to
change it in the plugins properties.
I'm sending it to you because the author doesn't mention the plugin on
his homepage anymore, which makes debian the primary source to get it.

Cheers,
- Daniel
