Which system monitor program are you using?

To my surprise, gnome-system-monitor shows me, under Processes, only my
processes, not all the processes in the system.

Question to everyone, is there a way to have gnome-system-monitor show
all processes, in the system, not just my processes?

The KDE system monitor, ksysguard, on the other hand, can show me all
processes in the system.

One can also run "top" in a shell.
If "top -i" is done, idled or zombied processes will not be displayed.
