Further investigation points to gnome's system monitor is mostly likely at fault. When I open up system monitor and click on the access Monitor tab, under memory System monitor is not correctly displaying both physical (1 GB of DDR) and swap (1024 MB). If the applet is reading the information from here, the bug lies not within the applet but within system monitor. Following is a posted screen shot.

I have the same problem: reproducible always. For me it shows that I have ~100K of memory and ~10K of swap when I have 512MB of memory (KDE reports 503.72) and 1024MB of swap (KDE reports 1019.71).
The latest updates from up2date fix the problem, thanks!
I have been unable to confirm that this is fix since my FC2 machine died from a failed master harddrive. Erich says it's fix, got to trust the man. :) Thanks Erich for testing and reporting. :) Good work everyone and another bug closed!
