I can confirm the bug in a fully updated instance of a 15.04 install (currently hogging 2GB out of 8GB of memory). As a workaround I just end the process, so it restarts with no memory usage. But this needs to be done every now and then, typically every day or so.
If logs are required, please ask. I'm not sure where notify-osd outut is logged, if at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to notify-osd in Ubuntu.
