Does you X server support the X-Resource extension ? xdpyinfo will give you a list of all supported extensions. gnome-system-monitor should probably show something like "unavailable" instead of "0 bytes" if the extension is not available.
Using FC3 right now, X-Resource is supported and applications that use X do actually show up as consuming memory. Then again, with hardware and software changes since last year it's hard to verify the bug's status. I should just close the bug, I suppose
