I can't reproduce this because I don't see any of these system processes in my list. How did you get those to list there?

Confirmed on up-to-date Edgy with the same gnome-system-monitor version (2.16.0-0ubuntu1).

Darren: Maybe you're not in the admin group? I don't know if it might affect gnome-system-monitor though, it's just a guess.
