I recently found out about "xresmap" (basically "top" for X server resources), so I ran it to see why my memory is getting sucked up so quickly these days.
To my surprise, the major offender was not firefox (the usual suspect these days :-), but rather gnome-panel -- it seems to be using 85 MB of pixmaps! Here's the output: res-base Wins GCs Fnts Pxms Misc Pxm mem Other Total PID Identifier 1000000 132 33 0 1425 105 85237K 6K 85244K 2876 gnome-panel 1800000 353 49 1 456 366 17700K 19K 17719K 10580 firefox 1600000 78 31 1 155 88 7810K 5K 7815K 8828 gqview 2000000 217 61 1 43 93 2399K 9K 2409K 7046 gtk-window-dec 2200000 19 1 1 7 851 1738K 21K 1759K ? compiz 0e00000 9 52 1 18 54 1099K 3K 1103K 10569 gnome-terminal ... [I hand-edited the "Identifier" column, as the original had charset issues; the names now are based on the PID and what ps says.] So does anybody have a clue why gnome-panel would be using so much pixmap memory? Does it have known pixmap leaks? I thought maybe it had something to do with my background wallpaper, so I replaced it with a single-color background, and that didn't affect the number by more than a few KB. Oh, the gnome-panel version is 2.18.3-2. Thanks, -Miles -- Fast, small, soon; pick any 2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
