[Bug 43677] Meaningful default memory stats

[Ben Maurer]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
In g-s-m, we should provide a useful default statistic for memory. I
propose one of two options:


1. Writable Memory
With the latest upload of g-s-m, this gives the private and dirty RSS. That statistic is a good approximiation of actual memory usage.

2. Writable Memory + X Memory
This helps give more accurate stats for applications like firefox which make use of X memory.

Either one of these stats will help give users a fair evaluation of
their memory usage.
