I've experienced exactly the same problem. I'd noticed that my computer was running very sluggishly and it felt like a memory issue. CPU usage was normal, yet all of X seemed painfully slow.
After inspecting g-s-m I saw notification-applet was using ~60Megs, which seemed a bit extreme. Further, using this python script to create notifications: http://trac.galago-project.org/wiki/PythonNotificationsExample I was able to arbitrarily increase n-a's memory usage. After killing n-a, my computer instantly became more responsive and when dbus restarted the daemon, it's memory usage was around 8M. Is there anything else I can provide to help with this bug? -- notification-daemon using 237MB of memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67129 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for notification-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
