Yes -- that's what Steve said.  I tried it and I loved it.  It looks 
really great.  There are some things I don't understand about the 
processes it is showing -- like the one firefox job appears maybe seven 
times, each accounting for 32% of memory.  Maybe that's one per firefox 
window, but that seems wrong.  "ps" only shows it once and the PIDs for 
the extra firefox processes do not show up.
