Description of problem: Galeon appears to have a memory leak. I run three instances of galeon plus ofter have url references in new windows (yet another instance). As time elapses (two to three hours) and I do some web browsing, memory usage (as reported by gnome-system-monitor) goes. For example, it is currently 43.1 MB Total and 18.2 MB Shared. This generally starts as about 20 to 25 MB Total. I have tried to use memprof to debug this but because galeon does a fork, the actual process doing the display is not followed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): re0204 (galeon - 1.2.7-3 and mozilla - 1.2.1-19. How reproducible: yes
Did you try to tell memprof to follow forks?
