Incorrect Source and Disassembly Percentages

The source and disassembly listings display all percentages as zero.

Internal gprofng Function Displayed in Function View

The collector_root function might be displayed in function view. That's an internal gprofng function that doesn't consume extra hardware resources.

Inactive gprofng-gui Help Menu Items

Various items aren't clickable in the gprofng-gui help menu. They relate to features that haven't been implemented in the graphical user interface.

Unable to Profile a Running Process by Using gprofng-gui

The "Profile a Running Process" feature hasn't been implemented in the graphical user interface, so it's not a clickable option.
