Public bug reported:
It seems gnome-software is running in the background all the time. Not a
big deal if it was lightweight, but it seems to use hundreds of MB (from
smem output):
PID User Command Swap USS PSS RSS
2291 jan /usr/bin/gnome-software --g 285436 112576 117982 134036
A total of over 400MB in RAM and swap combined.
After killing and restarting, it takes "only" a bit over 100MB.
