[kde-doc-english] Progress Bar drop-down from the Kmenu panel.

[Steven Vollom]

Kubuntu Karmic 9.10, KDE 4.3.4, AMDquad 9600, 4gb SDRAM, nVidia 9600 Video 
Card, SATA Drives and ext4 file system.

I recently re-installed Kubuntu Karmic to solve an otherwise unsolvable 
problem.  After the new installation was configured, the progress bar plasmoid 
changed, in that, it no longer showed the speed of transfer of data, only the 
progress.  This was a wonderful feature and is useful on some work I am doing 
related to transfer speeds.  I right-clicked on the item and found the check 
box that would include transfer progress, but there was no option to include 
speed of transfer.

Before the re-iinstallatin, the progress plasmoid would also give me the 
changing rate in MBPS.  The speed of transfer might change from 170mbps to 
120mbps to 150mbps during the transfer process.  These changes are what 
interest me.  Is there a configuration adjustment that will return the speed 
rate back to the application?  I would like to know what it would take to make 
transfer speeds stable and not fluctuating?  I am not sure if I am posing the 
question to the right people.  I hope I haven't abused your time.  Thanks!
