For GNOME Shell, the multiload indicator should be always visible or should at least have an option to make it always visible.

In GNOME Shell it is visible only in the overlay that appears only when the mouse is in the bottom right corner. As in GNOME 2 and GNOME Classic, it should be visible on the 'panel' on the top of the screen. This indicator should always be visible to make it useful.

Fixing this, as he functionality used to be, allows users to quickly and continuously monitor the load. Especially for developers this is important to see when CPU, disk activity or network load is going staying at maximum, indication the system or its software needs some manual action. For normal and advanced users this is also of importance so they can see when a download or heavy copy action has finished.

I don't think we support any applets at all in the top bar of GNOME Shell. Very likely not a gnome-applets bug but a GNOME Shell one, where it would be closed as WONTFIX.

GNOME Applets has nothing to do with GNOME Shell.
