Title:
  gnome-system-monitor doesn't shows the real amount of RAM is used

Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) ubuntu 12.10 64bit
  2) gnome-system-monitor 3.6.0
  3) Whenever I used vmware player and chose an amount of ram for the virtual 
os, despite how much ram was used by the virtual os, I want to see the summary 
of the RAM was used under "Resources". First I thought that was the way it is. 
Then I used windows and vmware player in them. I noticed that on 'task manager 
/ processes' didn't indicate this amount, exactly as gnome-system-manager on 
ubuntu. Although, on 'task manager / performance' there was all of it! So, I 
expect to see the whole amount of RAM is used under 'gnome-system-monitor / 
resources'
  4) [ I don't know how gnome-system-monitor calculates the amount of RAM. I 
add the amount of all processes (maybe stupid?) and the result was less. ] When 
the vmware player starts, the amount of used ram comes up a little. When the 
virtual os starts, the amount of ram doesn't change. (it changes from 1,9gb to 
2,1gb) The virtual os (windows in this test) said that they were using 1gb.
  5) I don't know what to hope:
  - hope that this is really a bug and I haven't spammed you
  - hope that windows task manager was wrong and actually windows uses 200mb of 
ram in virtual(!)

  The reason I posted that bug was that ubuntu freezes when opening
  three vmware players alongside. From the gnome-system-monitor side of
  view, it didn't make any sense to me (cpu low, ram low). From the task
  manager side of view.. I had exceeded the amount of my ram (cpu low),
  which make sense. I hope that helps. thank you :)
