Sorry, I spaced this. Description updated. :) ** Description changed:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758641 Please consider taking this memleak fix from upstream. I've built the package with it locally and confirmed that it fixes the leak in xfce4 -power-manager, which is mentioned in the upstream report. It also fixes a similarly sized (hundreds of MB after a few days up time) leak that I have observed in the NetworkManager service. + + [Impact] + Hundreds of MB memory leak in certain dbus applications, including default services like xfce4-power-manager and NetworkManager with default configurations. + + [Test Case] + Clean install of lubuntu 15.10 on a notebook with working battery. Observe xfce4-power-manager and NetworkManager* in "top" over 48-72hrs of normal use (web browsing, text editing, shell, etc). Both will be taking on several tens of MB per day of additional RES. + + *NetworkManager may require buggy wifi to reproduce. rtl8723be in my + case. + + [Regression Potential] + I'm no authority on the glib code base, but the upstream patch looks very safe to me. Let me know if you need any further details.
