Public bug reported:
The Gnome shell consumes an extremely high amount of memory and not
clearing up. While using the system it doesn't take much memory,
however, when being put to sleep, it builds up memory usage. The next
day system becomes too slow and takes a long time to respond. It returns
to a normal state after I kill the "gsd-color" process from the system
monitor.
For instance, gsd-color took 1Gb of memory while working, but after
putting it to sleep overnight, it shows usage of 28Gb memory the next
day.
