Simple reproducer that shows a leak in unity-panel-service (there may be other scenarios that cause a leak too):
1) Open a terminal and watch the RSS size of the unity-panel-service process: watch -n 0.5 ps -o rss= `pgrep unity-panel` 2) The value reported should stabilize 3) Launch gedit. Observe the value goes up a bit 4) Quit gedit. Observe that the value does not go down 5) Launch gedit. Observe that the value goes up again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I killed it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was totally pegging out a CPU. I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while after that.
