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.

Thank you for your bug. I've forwarded the bug upstream to get their opinion, we will probably pick the same default as they do for dapper http://
