Last modified: 2011-11-11 10:03:55 UTC
Description: The "Change Priority" window that prompts for the root password displays incorrect information. Steps to reproduced the problem: 1. Start gnome-system-monitor 2. In a terminal window, type: # nice -n 10 xclock & 3. Click on the newly started "xclock" process. 4. Press [Ctrl]+[R]. A window entitled "Change Priority" is displayed. 5. Set the "Nice Value" to 5. 6. Click on the "Change Priority" button. Another window entitled "Change Priority" is displayed. Actual Results: The windows says: "You must be root to renice a process lower than 0. You can enter the root password to gain the necessary permission.". This information is incorrect. Expected Results: The window should say something like: "You must be root to renice a process lower than its current nice value. You can enter the root password to gain the necessary permission.". Additional Information: The renice manual page says: "Users other than the super-user may only alter the priority of processes they own, and can only monotonically increase their ``nice value'' within the range 0 to PRIO_MAX (20).".
