Well, first it's a wishlist item, not a bug per say.  The default
behavior actually seems much worse in 2.14.3-2 (I had been running the
2.10 binary, so I hadn't noticed).  The scaling now makes no sense at
all -- it seems to change dynamically and unpredictably.  For example:

- Restart the applet
- scp transfer at 3MB/sec -- shows about 40% usage
- wget at 8MB/sec -- shows about 100% usage
- scp transfer at 3MB/sec -- doesn't show anything
- wait 5 minutes, then try the SCP, it's back to 40%

I think being able to set a fixed scaling (e.g., specify in the
preferences that a full graph should correspond to 100Mbps) is the
only behavior that would make sense... autoscaling without any
indication of the chosen scale makes a graph useless.
