SUMMARY
Plasma shell and other KDE applications using too much memory:
```
wangbin 672864 0.8 7.2 6562240 3595144 ? Ssl Nov16 17:03
/usr/bin/plasmashell --no-respawn
wangbin 760286 0.2 5.7 5532672 2816472 ? Ssl Nov16 5:07
/usr/bin/krunner --daemon
wangbin 672846 0.2 5.0 3789384 2502220 ? Ssl Nov16 5:33
/usr/bin/kded6
wangbin 672916 0.2 4.8 3135384 2375968 ? Ssl Nov16 4:29
/usr/lib/org_kde_powerdevil
```
As shown above, plasmashell uses more than 3G memory while krunner and
org_kde_powerdevil both uses more than 2G. Dolphin also used more than 2G
before I close it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use KDE for more than 1 day.
OBSERVED RESULT
Memory usage for Plasma shell and other KDE applications increased a lot.
Especially weird for applications like "/usr/lib/org_kde_powerdevil".
EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't use so much memory.
