Description

We are encountering an issue running xfce-netload on xfce on centos7.

We have three interfaces being monitored, so we have three "netload" rc files under ~/.config/xfce4/panel

Below is an example (monitoring vnet1 for a virtual machine)

Use_Label=true Show_Values=false Show_Bars=true Colorize_Values=false Color_In=#FF4F00 Color_Out=#FFE500 Text=vnet1 Network_Device=vnet1 Max_In=4096 Max_Out=4096 Auto_Max=true Update_Interval=250

We deployed this configuration on over 40 systems. What we've been noticing recently, is that a few (3 total to date) have had their netload rc files mysteriously reinitialized upon gracefull reboot. By re-initialized the rc files are still present but the "Network_Device" values are now empty

Use_Label=true Show_Values=false Show_Bars=true Colorize_Values=false Color_In=#FF4F00 Color_Out=#FFE500 Text=Net Network_Device= Max_In=4096 Max_Out=4096 Auto_Max=true Update_Interval=250

We are really curious as to what could be causing this? xfce and xserver did not seem to encounter any issues.
