Description marm 2006-11-18 11:45:28 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. start the computer with two cores enabled.
2. add two frequency scaling monitors, which show the status of booth cores, to the panel
3. restart the computer with one core enabled (I had do that because there was a problem with the kernel, but that's a different story). As soon as you log into Gnome, the applet crashes. I would expect a warning from the applet, that it cannot show the applet for the second core, but not a crash.

Good catch!. I've just fixed it in cvs. Instead of showing a popup (could be annoying to have a popup every time you boot in single core), it'll automatically monitor the higher cpu, but by keeping your preferences so that the next time you boot again in dual core, the applet will work as you had configured for dual core.

Thanks a lot for the bug report.
