+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #399461 +++

I suggest that one could place a single cpu-freq applet on its panel and change the governor simultaneously on both cores of an intel core duo processor.  As of now, one must add 2 intances fo the applet to the panel (one for cpu-0 and one for cpu-1) and change each the applet separately.

Carlos Garcia Campos' response:
Every applet instance represents a CPU, so I think it doesn't make sense that
one applet can change the frequency of other CPU. In a core duo processor, when
you change the frequency on any core, it's automatically changed in the other,
so you can just add a single applet to monitor both cores. 
I'm going to close it as WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen it if you think I'm
wrong. 

New information:

I understand your point, however, I can clearly add two instances of the applet and change the frequencies separately.  If this is not supported by the cpu, then why can I choose separate frequencies?  I will attach a screenshot on which you will see what I am describing in the lower left corner of the panel.  Thanks,

regards,

Nic
