Public bug reported:

After running for a few weeks, gnome-shell is using more memory than is
reasonable:

  PID USER      PRI  NI  VIRT   RES   SHR S CPU% MEM%   TIME+  Command
 1692 robin      20   0 4380M  956M 48792 S  0.7  6.0 12h59:46 
/usr/bin/gnome-shell

as time goes on, it tends to slowly creep up. Unfortunately it is harder
to restart than something like Firefox. If you kill it, it doesn't
automatically come back.
