Wait a couple of weeks 4. ps -e -o rss,size,vsize,start_time,cmd |grep applet | sed 's/--oaf.*//' | sort -nr Actual Results: Done on March 3rd: 101648 142880 163884 Feb19 /usr/libexec/clock-applet 95576 104432 125436 Feb19 /usr/libexec/wnck-applet 8476 6900 27420 Feb19 /usr/libexec/gweather-applet-2 6624 23684 43648 Feb19 /usr/libexec/drivemount_applet2 6112 2404 21652 Feb19 /usr/libexec/multiload-applet-2 6092 4664 24452 Feb19 /usr/libexec/gnome-keyboard-applet 5984 3376 24768 Feb19 /usr/libexec/mixer_applet2 5004 1896 20936 Feb19 /usr/libexec/notification-area-applet 668 236 3760 11:55 grep applet Expected Results: I'd like to see something smaller.... The other applets are more reasonable, as shown. Additional info:
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
I'm sorry I cannot update and check. I've replaced Fedora/Gnome with (K)ubuntu/KDE, which works much more smoothly; I suppose I'm not in the primary audience for Fedora (I need a stable system to do work on, more than the leading edge). Now I don't know whether to change the status of the bug or what. If the clock doesn't grow for you on newer releases, I suppose the problem has been fixed.
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present. Since there haven't been any updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in our current OS release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to CANTFIX, however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora Core release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report. Thank you in advance. (this message is mass message)
