This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle.
Changing version to '20'.

Comment 2 Petr Sklenar 2013-10-07 11:01:29 UTC

t61 with 3gb mem:
rhel6 in default configuration => it works really nice
rhel7 in default configuration => no mem available, its lagging, unusable.

Comment 4 Vladimir Benes 2013-10-07 11:15:39 UTC

can you reproduce using current rhel7 version? gnome-shell-3.8.4-5.el7.x86_64

I am not seeing this now (g-s eating terrible 400MB)

Comment 5 Petr Sklenar 2013-10-11 08:19:48 UTC

Hi.

Hm, I am trying the same with the latest release of rhel7 and now its seems to be OK.

So I am sorry for making mess
