Title:
nm-applet leaks massive memory
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04, I noticed nm-applet would leak huge
memory when I leave my machine running overnight (or more). I would
notice the machice is crawling, and top would reveal 50%+ of 4GB
memory taken by nm-applet.
I figured 2GB for the applet is tad too much ... It happened more than
couple of times, I think.
See attached screenshot of top output.
Also, simple "killall nm-applet" won't kill it. I had to do "killall
-9 nm-applet" to restore the memory and restart nm-applet manually.
Ubuntu: 12.04
$ dpkg -l | grep network-manager
ii network-manager
0.9.2.0+git201201101813.0b30200-0ubuntu2 network management framework

It's likely going to happen again - if there is anything I could help
collect when it happens again, I would be happy to do so.
