gnome-applets for Debian
------------------------
--- cpufreq ---
You have the option of installing a component of the CPU Frequency Scaling
Monitor (cpufreq-selector) with the SUID bit set. This package ships
cpufreq-selector with SUID bit unset by default for security reasons.
For more information and to change this setting, run :
dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
