Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
gnome-panel loads about 1.2 MB of RSS via .mo files for the purpose of
localizing menu names:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./smem.pl `pidof gnome-panel` | grep langpack | awk '{ sum
+= $3 } END {print sum}'
1196
While this memory is in theory shared (it's not private memory), for
most of the .mo files, g-p is the only consumer of the file. This causes
extra disk access during boot, and also consumes excess memory.
** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
--
g-p's use of gettext uses more memory that needed
