Description of problem: After about 4 days opening any application on mate-panel fails with "failed to fork (cannot allocate memory)" window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: mate-panel-1.20.1-5.fc27.x86_64, on a fully up-to-date F27 installation. Steps to Reproduce: Unknown. I have hit this 3 times in the past 12 days. I am using mate as my desktop. I am not doing anything unusual on the system. Actual results: mate-panel consumes 9G of memory. From top, PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2203 prarit 20 0 12.974g 0.012t 26800 S 5.3 44.5 85:28.51 mate-panel Expected results: mate should not consume this much memory. Additional info: I plan to restart my desktop in the AM. If you have any suggestions for debugging please let me know. Thanks, P.
Do you use windows-applets via wine in na-tray? See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575091
Can you please test if this build fixes the issue? Follow links to you arch and download needed rpms. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26851768
(In reply to Wolfgang Ulbrich from comment #1) > Do you use windows-applets via wine in na-tray? > See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575091 Nope, not using wine. BUT ... I'm using tigervnc! That's an interesting commonality between the two bugs. P.

It takes about 4 days to reproduce the bug, so I will respond back next week. P.
The build in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1576930#c2 works AFAICT. mate-panel has very low memory usage: 2196 prarit 20 0 749068 73236 22052 S 0.0 0.3 0:14.88 mate-panel P.

This seems to have reappeared in mate-panel-1.20.3-1.fc28.x86_64. Please re-open.
Please provide additional information? na-tray-applet isn't build in-process. So this is another issue.
