This worked for me in KDE-3.5.  I added an additional worksheet.  In
KDE-4, I replaced the SystemLoad sheet and that works, but it will not
load additional sheets.

The "Load Average" problem is fairly simple.  It reads the file, sets 
the values in the file, then changes them to 0 - 1.0.  The code was 
simply written wrong.

I have to wonder, does anybody do any basic TQM testing.  Or, do they 
just write the code, commit it, and wait for bugs?
