Description of problem: Plasma desktop, after starting up begins to eat up memory and CPU until it has consumed all available RAM on the server. After additional time it will cause swapping so constantly it will cause the server to crash. It is also consuming more CPU % than i would expect, @ approx 22% constantly at the time of writing (its currently at 38% for mem consumption) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Qt 4.6.2 KDE 4.3.4 Plasma workspace 0.3 How reproducible: Every time, after a period of time (3-4 days to get to what its at now) it just started to consume resources, eventually starving the box (around a week or so for that) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KDE 2. Allow to run for a few days 3. Observe growing memory and CPU consumption Actual results: Memory and CPU continue to be used for no reason Expected results: Plasma allocates out the memory it needs, may grow a little but should not continue to consume all the resources. Additional info:
Forgot to say, i saw a similar issue on my fedora installs some time ago when they were running a similar / same version of KDE. May be an issue with this version that a new version has resolved. KDE is quite out of date on RHEL.
