Thanks Timo. Let me, though, and briefly, restate my reasoning about the 
network problem: this problem makes it hard - impossible for some people 
- to do something many of them will have a strong need to do; therefore, 
whatever its origin, Mint should try to fix or work-around it. Compare: 
if I run a hotel and the government should provide my electricity, and 
yet fails so to do, then, while I wait for the government to fulfil its 
obligations, I had better install a generator. For otherwise my guests 
will leave.

Title:
  System Monitor hangs when network offline

Status in Linux Mint:
  New
Status in gnome-system-monitor package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The System Monitor hangs, or appears to hang, when a FSTAB-mounted
  network filesystem is offline. For, in that scenario, nothing - no
  message, nothing - happens for over 60 seconds - and then, after the
  filesystem tab *is* displayed, the Monitor generates a hang prompt
  when I try to close the window. C'mon, guys.

  Also: surely the System Monitor uses too much CPU for something that
  measures the CPU.

  Linux Mint 17.2 x64, Cinnamon, on a dualcore 2.2Gh processor, on a
  good SSD. Laptop.
