Title:
  Parent process should show child process totals

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

  Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
  2.6.24-18-generic
  Gnome 2.22.3

  When using the System monitor, I feel that all parent processes, when
  collapsed, should give the totals of itself and it's child processes
  for all fields (cpu, memory etc.). This could help clean up the window
  a little bit for people who like to have all dependencies and all
  processes for all users on there at once. Once that parent is opened,
  then it can revert back to displaying it's own totals and the child
  processes can do the same (unless of course, it is a parent for other
  children).

  This should be default behavior in my opinion, but at least the
  addition of an option somewhere would be great. I think it would make
  much more sense to be able to get totals for "gdm" and "xorg" and
  other conglomerate processes as giant entities instead of having to
  open up all the little sub processes to get an idea of whats eating up
  my cpu.
