Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

The two circular graphics to represent Memory and Swap percentage usage
in the resources tab are back-to-front in that they 'fill' in an
anticlockwise manner.

This goes against intuition with respect to any dial in the real world.
It could be therefore confused as to which is the foreground and which
is the background colour on the dial and therefore is it say reading 25%
vs 75%, or 5% vs 95%.

I know one could just read the figure in parentheses to the right of the
dials, but then what's the point of the graphical representation?

I suspect that a fix would nearly be just the addition (or removal) of a
minus sign at a strategic point somewhere in the source code.
