Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.18.1-1 Severity: important I've had gnome-terminal in use for a while with default settings (scrollback 500 lines or 318kb) and it's using a HUGE amount of memory. I'm seeint the same from both gnome-panel and galeon so i suspect it could well be an issue in a library used by all three. I've looked at the list for gnome-panel, and this could be related to bug #445340. Here is it's line from top: 12381 ariana 19 4 458m 368m 13m R 1.0 24.3 12:09.19 gnome-terminal
I am going to also report against galeon and reference this and #445340, feel free to consolidate if you this they are the same bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-control-center 1:2.18.1-1 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii gnome-terminal-data 2.18.1-1 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.20.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgconf2-4 2.20.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.1-5 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.18.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.20.0-3 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte9 1:0.16.9-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-13 A free electronic cataloging syste Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii yelp 2.14.3-2 Help browser for GNOME 2 -- no debconf information
