Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-10-25 20:10:25 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/68213

"1. remove the /apps/procman gconf keys from your configuration and restart gconfd. This helps to reproduce the issue
2. Start up g-s-m
3. configure the columns in preferences. Check the "arguments" column
4. Reorder the memory and the arguments column so that memory is on the left.
5. Quit g-s-m
6. Reopen g-s-m
7. Note the lack of the memory column"

It happens with 2.16.1 on edgy

Since this bug is over two years old I thought it might be useful to add that it still affects Gnome 2.24 on Intrepid. I don't know if the Version/Gnome version should be changed.

Has there been any progress on the bug yet?

There is a comment on the Launchpad bug detailing a workaround that may shed some light on the cause of this issue.

Uses a different function to find security_context column

Explanation:

When can_show_security_context_column() returns false, column COL_SECURITYCONTEXT will be hidden. However the wrong column is found, because the wrong function is used. Changing gtk_tree_view_get_column to my_gtk_tree_view_get_column_with_sort_column_id fixes this bug.
