Description of problem: Clock-applet seems to suffer from a memory leak. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2175 user 15 0 211m 101m 18m S 0.6 20.2 48:37.45 clock-applet at first I thought the memory usage comes with runtime (16 days now). after scrolling back and forth _an_awful_lot_ I got: 2175 user 15 0 212m 146m 18m S 0.3 29.1 48:45.86 clock-applet However, I'm still not convinced its only the calender view, as I have used it more in the last 10 minutes than in the last month. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.6.0-9 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. start clock-applet 2. scroll back and forth a view month/years 3. repeat until out of memory (or) 1. start clock-applet 2. wait two weeks 3. check memory usage Actual Results: uses 211m of virtual memory. Expected Results: use less memory Additional info: from the same top output: 2169 me 15 0 112m 54m 18m S 0.3 10.8 43:15.26 battstat-applet so it might be a leak in a common library
I've also noticed the clock applet taking what looked like excessive amounts of memory (like 20 meg). I thought it was just typical insane bloat, but a leak makes more sense.
