Blah.

Now that I'm awake, I can see that I was completely incoherent last
night.  gnome-control-center currently doesn't depend on libgtop at all.
I think this feature is pretty nice, though, so I think I'll add support
to gnome-settings-daemon anyway.

Does anyone know how complete libgtop's fs support is?  I can make it
conditionally compile the check, but I'm wondering how many systems
aren't supported by it.
