Description of problem: Hi When I've downgraded from the latest version of gnome-screensaver which eats CPU inside Xorg server - I've just notice one thing - it looks like this application eats over 35MB of my RAM - even if it's not active - i.e. running in the background and waiting for activation. Does it make any sence to consume this amount of Pixmap memory: xrestop - Display: localhost:0 Monitoring 36 clients. XErrors: 1 Pixmaps: 61823K total, Other: 194K total, All: 62018K total res-base Wins GCs Fnts Pxms Misc Pxm mem Other Total PID Identifier 4600000 3 27 0 6 1969 34453K 46K 34499K 7546 gnome-screensaver 3a00000 1168 525 1 493 300 8290K 47K 8338K 9234 [SDL] moving screen when u change resolution - Mozilla Firefox 1800000 0 0 0 1 0 6890K 0B 6890K ? <unknown> 0e00000 8 38 1 7 17 4595K 2K 4598K 18822 nautilus 0000000 1 0 2 0 57 3445K 3K 3448K ? <unknown> 1e00000 0 0 0 1 0 3445K 0B 3445K ? <unknown> The second window in the row - is the firefox window with over 40 opened tabs - and screensaver still takes 4 times more.... - and I use 'blank' screensaver I know that memory is cheap, but I think this could be better ;) It looks like 5 full 32bit screens 1600x1080 saved in the memory... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.24.1-2.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gnome session 2. use xrestop 3. Actual results: Expected results: Idealy this would be zero when I do not see screensaver activated - is there really any need to keep pixmaps allocated why the screensaver is not active ?
