Package: glipper
Version: 2.4-6
Severity: normal

most probably upstream's bug, and most probably triggered by something I added
into a clipboard, but I don't remember adding anything heavy - primarily it is
just text cut/pastes.  But atm ps output for glipper is

$> ps auxw | grep glipper
yoh       2418  0.0 15.3 2930764 2513048 tty2  Sl+  Apr22   1:27 
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/glipper

so about 2.5GB is used by the best in resident memory.  I have no clue how to
figure out what actually consumes so much in there.  If someone provides hints,
I would be happy to track it down.  

killing and starting a new process brings memory consumption down:

27695 yoh       20   0  451564  44420  30180 S   0.0  0.3   0:00.23 glipper  

while previous clipboard contents seems still to be available within glipper's
menu.  So I suspect either python leak of some kind, or some internal structure
growing  out of control
