Created attachment 81044 [details] gnome-system-monitor using 75 megabytes of RAM when run on remote X-server
I am seeing the system monitor's memory grow when using the local X-server. I have a i586 system problem occurs using either 2.4.18-14 or 2.4.18-18.8.0 kernels, version 2.0.0 gnome system monitor.
Almost certainly Xft memory leak, try Xft packages from ftp://people.redhat.com/hp/testing/ If those don't solve the problem, please reopen the report.
