This is not improved by vte-0.8.13-1 from rawhide Hmm I'm trying to do the same here and it doesn't work as you say. My gnome-terminal is constantly sitting on 10MB RSS rpm -q gnome-terminal vte gives this: gnome-terminal-2.0.1-3 vte-0.8.8-1 I tried resetting gnome-terminal to defaults, but I still get it leaking. This is after about 30 seconds in "top" with the spacebar held down to force it to update quickly: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 1865 djm 15 0 118M 118M 6640 R 3.5 49.1 0:12 gnome-terminal there's at least a 0.8.15 that should be appearing soon if it hasn't. vte-0.8.14-1 doesn't help either I have the same problem (gnome-terminal using up all my memory) when I use anti-aliased fonts. gnome-terminal behaves correctly when using the "monochrome" font setting. Perhaps this gives some indication where the problem is ... I surely hope so. I see the same bevahior as rh under Red Hat 8.0. But this doesn't seem to be limited to gnome-terminal. I see similar leaks in other apps, like gedit, when anti-aliasing is enabled. Not good! If you run "xdpyinfo", is RENDER one of the listed extensions? In my case, no. I'm running under VMware 3.2 in case it matters... No RENDER extension here either. Video card is a I830 (in a laptop) Cheers and good hunting Tycho *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 76219 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
