Public bug reported:

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 of how much ram was used by the virtual os, I want to see the summary 
of the RAM was used under "Resources". Firstly 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 hadn't spam you
- hope that windows task manager was wrong and actually windows uses 200mb of 
ram in virtual(!)


The reason I post 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 :)
