Thanks. 

$  head -4 /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        8153228 kB
MemFree:          291788 kB
Buffers:          333900 kB
Cached:          5675796 kB


Same time, mem applet indicates:

Memory: 1817MB of 7962MB used

The values do change, they just appear incorrect IMHO

I closed the Email client and it changed to

Memory: 1710MB of 7962MB used

At same time:

$ head -4 /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        8153228 kB
MemFree:          386788 kB
Buffers:          334276 kB
Cached:          5678272 kB

Here's the top output for comparison
