Thanks,

  What knemo does better than any other application of its size it (1) provides
an excellent tooltip with all network stats (available with only a hover over
the systray icon), and (2) provides an excellent network graph that is well laid
out and fairly configurable.

  We may also want to enable the Text -> Top Bar setting as well by default. It
adds a nice "(interface)     in:      out:  " readout at the top of the graph. eg:

eth0:         in:  539 K/s    out: 128 K/s


  The knemo code looks like a text-book c++ class based app with readable
constructors/destructors, class members, etc.. so the base of knemo is in good
shape.
