I think that it would be really good if the System Monitor displayed disk utilization among the things it already displays. This would be really useful in a line graph. And I have heard and seen many people wanting a feature like this so I think that it would be a really good new feature to implement.

I have also made this suggestion to the maintainers (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/1502509), but as they normally tell me to also request feature requests upstream I thought that I should also do it here.

Given that I/O is usually the biggest culprit of performance problems on a desktop Linux system, I'd love to see this feature too, instead of having to resort to installing and using "iotop" in a terminal.

Yes, I would also like to see this feature (as a maintainer and developer of System Monitor), however implementing it is above my current knowledge, and is blocked by not having it in the library providing the data for system monitor, libgtop. I have reported an enhancement request for libgtop to provide the data, and patches are very welcome, if libgtop gets updated, I will be happy to jump on implementing the system-monitor side.
