I'm seeing a severe memory leak in wnck-applet (and gnome-panel, too) related to auto-hide.
If I set 'autohide' property in the bottom panel (it has the default stuff on it but I have widened it to 48 pixels), then *each* hide operation adds about 2 MB to wnck-applet, and likewise each 'show' adds about 2 MB. Likewise 'gnome-panel' grows in memory size on each of these operations, but it seems not by as much (maybe 0.8 to 1.1 MB). As I make these observations there are 9 open apps shown in the panel. I also have 2.6.32-22-generic x86_64 and nvidia This system has 8 CPUs (really, 4 HT) and 16 GB of RAM; I'm running a 'Twinview' dual monitor setup. Machine was built as 9.10 and updated to 10.4 without troubles. With auto-hide turned off, it seems reasonably OK. I've seen some growth in memory size, but it could be normal and bounded from what I've seen. Will turn off auto-hide and see how it goes. -- wnck-applet has memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576751 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
