Bug#317650: gnome-system-monitor: Reports different ammount of free memory compared to 'top'

[Vincent Lönngren]

Package: gnome-system-monitor
Version: 2.10.1-2
Severity: normal

According to gnome-system-monitor, 191.8 MB of memory is used, but 
according to top, it's 384420 kb. I don't know which number is correct, 
but since top is older and presumably more well tested, I report it 
here.
