Sorry I had some issues doing some upgrades today (the latest 
gnome-system-monitor is dependant on the latest gtop even though apt 
didn't seem to catch that).

Both ethereal and tcpdump show nothing when I think I'n doing nothing 
even though the gnome system monitor displays >60% usage(Both ethereal 
and tcpdump do show something when I'm reading email, accessing the web, 
etc)?  Who do I believe?
