I don't know if this a relevant comment to toss into the mix, but a
sudo gnome-system-monitor shows all the other processes that are
probably daemons and anything run in sudo, as far as I can tell. I find
no sudo in my process list in non-sudo-ed gnome-system-monitor. For sake
of simplicity, I

I can reproduce this under jaunty.
1. Open up gnome-system monitor, Processes tab.
2. View - All processes.
3. Open terminal, execute: sudo updatedb
4. Confirm updatedb is running (ps).
5. Refresh gnome-system-monitor list, updatedb does NOT appear in list of
processes.

Tristan, your reproduce steps don't work for me. You are right that
there is no process updatedb shown, but a process named sudo is
shown with the PID of the updatedb-process. This is logical, I think,
because sudo is the parent process which then runs updatedb.
** Changed in:
Tristan's steps to reproduce seem to work great for me. This bug report
is about the highly active updatedb (I'm not sure the mystery process is
always updatedb, it was just my example) process not being shown in
System Monitor. You are right that it does show sudo, but sudo is not
assigned a
Still can't replicate, but can add some discovery:
If sudo has been used in the session before and a password is not
needed, system-monitor correctly identifies updatedb as the process-
name. If a password is needed, sudo is shown as the name. The PID
displayed by top, ps and system-monitor are
10 matches
