Using a wrapper script for gnome-shell actually breaks things, because now systemd thinks the wrong process is sending ready signals (everything starts up fine, but then gets killed after 10 seconds once systemd decides its timed out).
And the problem is that all the processes inherit their environment from gnome-shell; without code changes I can't limit the the tracing to *just* gnome-shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The gnome-shell process on my system is currently at 5473M VIRT 1224M RSS 566M SHR; this seems a bit excessive.
