That's about +1MB RSS per hour for lightdm-gtk-greeter, and about +2MB RSS per
hour for X. Last time I went on a 2 week vacation, when I returned greeter had
half a gig RSS. Forgot to screenshot it.
To make matters worse, X is not releasing allocated memory after login. It
persists until the end of the session, when it is finally restarted.
I tried reverting to the default theme (Adwaita), but it doesn't change a
thing (still leaks).
Finally, CPU usage is also a bit problematic. I suspect it is somehow connected
to the memory leak. Eventhough 0.2 - 0.4% CPU is not much, it's still unexpected
for a display manager. Not to mention that it doesn't allow CPU on an otherwise
dormant machine to go to deep sleep and probably wastes a lot of power.
Can you provide a valgrind log? See
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/quick-start.html
I replaced `start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile
/var/run/lightdm.pid --name lightdm --exec $DAEMON -b|| echo -n "
already running"' in /etc/init.d/lightdm with `valgrind --leak-check=yes
$DAEMON', fired up screen and run `/etc/init.d/lightdm start >out 2>err'
in it. Will send you the files in about an hour, after I ctrl-C it.
I hope that's what you need? Never run valgrind before. :P
