Like I said over on bug 648618, I quite using evolution because of this. Unfortunately you can't apt-get purge evolution* if you want a clock on your desktop. So I wrote an app indicator so I could completely remove the leaky evolution stuff from my system: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/648618/comments/37

I originally reported this to bugzilla.gnome.org but I think this needs more urgent attention. The System Monitor is what initially showed me where my RAM was going. The bug at bugzilla.gnome.org has a valgrind trace I just attached a few minutes ago: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615371 This is the command I used to run valgrind: valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valoffline.log /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-2.28 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_DataServer_InterfaceCheck --oaf-ior-fd=30 More information: Executable name: /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-2.28 Package name: Package: evolution-data-server Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: gnome Installed-Size: 1412 Maintainer: Ubuntu Desktop Team <[email protected]> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Replaces: evolution-data-server1.2 Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0), libbonobo2-0 (>= 2.15.0), libc6 (>= 2.7), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libcamel1.2-14 (>= 2.28.1), libcomerr2 (>= 1.01), libdb4.7, libebackend1.2-0 (>= 2.28.1), libebook1.2-9 (>= 2.28.1), libecal1.2-7 (>= 2.28.1), libedata-book1.2-2 (>= 2.28.1), libedata-cal1.2-6 (>= 2.28.1), libedataserver1.2-11 (>= 2.28.1), libegroupwise1.2-13 (>= 2.28.1), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgconf2-4 (>= 2.23.2), libgdata-google1.2-1 (>= 2.28.1), libgdata1.2-1 (>= 2.28.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0), libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.0), libgweather1 (>= 2.28.0), libical0 (>= 0.42), libk5crypto3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libkrb5-3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7), libnspr4-0d (>= 4.7.0~1.9b1), libnss3-1d (>= 3.12.2~rc1), liborbit2 (>= 1:2.14.10), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.27.92), libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.6.16), libxml2 (>= 2.7.4), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), evolution-data-server-common (= 2.28.1-0ubuntu1) Suggests: evolution (>= 2.6.1), evolution-data-server-dbg (= 2.28.1-0ubuntu1) Breaks: evolution (<< 2.25.90) Description: evolution database backend server The data server, called "Evolution Data Server" is responsible for managing mail, calendar, addressbook, tasks and memo information.
