Comment 23 for bug 80780

I realize that this bug report is, according to the title, only about memory and disk sizes, but comment #19 above mentions that network throughput uses "KB/s" (in the tooltip) and I would like to point out that this is indeed contrary to Ubuntu policy and the bug still exists in Ubuntu 10.10. According to Ubuntu policy (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy), "kilobytes" should be symbolized "kB".

I was about to make this comment at #366235, since that began as a report about "incorrect network speed (throughput) units", but the latter has been assigned to gnome-bugs #580471 where the discussion has sidetracked into the question of whether the average user prefers to see throughput measurements in bits or bytes, and into other questions.

Perhaps the decision whether to report bits or bytes can be left to upstream; but let Ubuntu make sure that the symbols used always follow Ubuntu standards.
