Package: awesome Version: 3.5.1-1 Severity: serious Justification: long-lived process leaking memory can take down the system
Hi! Since I upgraded to 3.5.x around two months ago, I've started to sense the system becoming very sluggish. The other day checking ps output I found that awesome was taking 800 MiB of resident memory. After restarting it, the process went back to the normal 12 MiB or so. I've noticed that the memory increases (at least) every time I switch window, either with the keyboard (f.ex. Mod4 + l, Mod4 + k) or with the mouse. If I keep, say, Mod4 + l pressed permanently I can easily get the awesome process to increase around 1 MiB every 5 seconds. I've set the severity to serious because this is a long-lived process, and the effects of a leak affect the whole system, but of course if you disagree please lower it.
