This bug simply needs to be taken seriously. From what I have read this issue mostly effects users of Nvidia's propriatery drivers. I use MythTV which means I need to leave my computer on all the time to record TV shows. This means daily I must execute "Alt+F2" then run "unity --replace" to reduce the rediculous memory footprint of "compiz" and to a lesser degree "unity-panel-service". The result is that using multiple workspaces becomes almost useless as all running apps are collapsed into the workspace where you ran the "unity --replace".
I surely hope this is fixed in 12.04, considering that Unity 3D is the default desktop and this is a LTS release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870042 Title: Memory leak in compiz (and maybe Xorg) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/870042/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
