What would you like to see?

There may not be many users of this, but I am one who finds the applet quite useful, giving that my old machines are sensitive to being nearly stalled by disk any hogging programs. That being said, I see that the applet, when you click on its tray entry, has a list of disks - sda and sdb in my case - and then, horizontally, a list of... well, what? Likely processes, or threads, accessing each disk, with what kind of information? It would be very useful to know what these numbers mean, and how they map to processes. The last column gives a percentage, but that can go beyond 100%, so it also needs a bit of interpretation. Would the sysstat documentation help here?

Thanks!
