unfortunatly those reports of "it's using nG of ram after a day" are not that useful without steps to reproduce :/ The issue is not happening to everybody, or we would hear more about it/some of us would be able to reproduce. The comments suggests that some of the issues are due to plugins or projects that integrate with nautilus. There might also be a bug in nautilus trigger in some special situations (or on some special files for example), we need to figure out what those special conditions are to be able to work on it though...

It's maybe interesting to know that: * I'm using a slideshow and not one single image as background. * I opened Nautilus in directories where big files were being downloaded (and Nautilus regularly refreshed their preview) * I made a few actions (like opening directories with a lot of files, moving files, creating directories, extracting tarball, etc.) * I'm using a few plugins like nautilus-dropbox, nautilus-image-converter, etc. * I've bookmarks with special characters like 'Vidéos' and 'Téléchargements'. I hope it will help you to fix this bug ;) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.3.91-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-18.29-generic 3.2.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Mar 11 10:35:32 2012 GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.nautilus.window-state geometry '800x552+483+87' org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-status-bar true InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110803.1) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/952108/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
