Stuff like this is supposed to be done via extensions (similar to firefox extension), there is a system monitor extension in the gnome-shell-extensions git repo.
Like the idea of extensions however not seeing system monitor extension here..
Seems like the patch has not landed yet see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634080
And Gnome Shell extension need to be click able to install and or searchable through some configuration front end to Gnome Shell like when you install wordpress plugins or choose and Add on in Firefox
Making novice end users go through hops like this "./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/.local --enable-extensions="one two three" make install" will never make "Extensions" reach it full potentials..
Sure we are not there yet and I don't expect the extension experience to be at that level for 3.0 (i.e 3.2 material).
If we are not there yet, then why don't we wait until F16 for Gnome 3/Gnome Shell? I see this as being exactly the same as the situation was with systemd--it wasn't polished in time for F14, so it had to wait until F15. Why should Gnome be any different? Why should the users have to put up with a half-baked user experience for F15?
