Title:
  Meaningful default memory stats

Status in The GNOME System Monitor:
  Incomplete
Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In g-s-m, we should provide a useful default statistic for memory. I
  propose one of two options:

  
  1. Writable Memory
  With the latest upload of g-s-m, this gives the private and dirty RSS. That statistic is a good approximiation of actual memory usage.

  2. Writable Memory + X Memory
  This helps give more accurate stats for applications like firefox which make use of X memory.

  Either one of these stats will help give users a fair evaluation of
  their memory usage.
