Public bug reported:
System monitor shows these values on its "Resources" page:
User memory: 290.3 MB of 503.7 MB
Used swap: 257.5 MB of 517.7 MB
but on the "Processes" page I see (when I sort records on the Memory
column descending):
7.7 MB
5.4 MB
4.1 MB
3.1 MB
2.8 MB
1.9 MB
1.4 MB
1.3 MB

...
so its sum is about 37.51 MB.
So one of these values must be very wrong.
This situation is seen after Firefox and LinuxDC++ was running and then closed.
Maybe
some allocated memory was not properly put back?
