Description Gilboa Davara 2011-05-16 07:43:56 UTC
Short description: xkb plugin in v4.8 (Currently using the 4.8 repo on Fedora 14) is leaking memory like crazy - up to 500-700MB after a couple of days of use.
Issue fixed by upstream. (https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7363)
Current fixes do not apply cleanly on top of 0.5.3.3 - most likely require rebasing.

Let me know if I can help.

Sure you can help: Provide a rebased patch.

I am following the upstream bug, however I didn't have the time to look into it and I'm not sure if it's fixed either. There are a couple of bugs that should be fixed already but are not.

@François: If you could look into this you are welcome, too.

Comment 2 Christoph Wickert 2011-05-16 08:00:34 UTC
One more thing: Testing would also help. Did you test the latest code and can you confirm the problem is fixed or are you just relying on the bug report?

Please build a latest - 0.5.4.1 - version! (My problem: xfce4-xkb-plugin forget configuration. Next login, xfce4-xkb-plugin use a default config. Only US keyboard layout. If I use immutable flag on ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xkb-plugin-*.rc file, Xfce can't rewrite config file with erroneous data. Next login very shortly - < 1s - OK (I see hungarian tricolor flag), but in memory go wrong a config. I view properties: only US keyboard layout. :( )

My config:

display_type=0
group_policy=0
default_group=0
never_modify_config=false
model=pc105+inet
layouts=hu,us
variants=101_qwerty_dot_nodead,
toggle_option=grp:alt_shift_toggle
compose_key_position=compose:rwin

I am sorry, I was not aware it had been released because it was not announced on any of the Xfce mailing lists.
