From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030206 Description of problem: I was experimenting with VNC using the "Remote Desktop Connection" tool (Internet -> More internet applications -> Remote Desktop Connection") from a KDE session. After connecting to my 'localhost:1' VNC session, I was presented with the GNOME desktop interface inside the VNC client on my screen. I then started a gnome-terminal session from the GNOME menu inside my VNC client. After I had done this my system began eating memory very fast; on virtual console 1 I had a "vmstat 1" command running which went up to 700+ MB swapfile usage. If I had not killed the Xvnc process my machine probably would have crashed or would have become so unresponsive I had to reset. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (reproduced twice). 01. Start a KDE session from GDM. 02. Open "konsole" 03. "su -" 04. "vncserver" 05. Internet ->More internet applications ->Remote Desktop Connection. 06. Connect to localhost:1 07. (VNC client starts presenting a GNOME desktop). 08. Start a Gnome-terminal session. 09. (window of Gnome-terminal gets drawn, but no fonts inside it). 10. (Xvnc starts eating memory very fast). Actual Results: Xvnc starts eating memory very fast and system quickly becomes unresponsive. Expected Results: No memory leaks should occur. Additional info: vnc-3.3.3r2-47 Red Hat Linux release 8.0.94 (Phoebe)
