Package: libpolkit-gobject-1-0
Version: 0.105-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I've found, that policykit-1-0.105 in my Debian Wheezy doesn't release
reference counters of GVariant data for
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.EnumerateActions DBUS call results
handler (polkit_authority_enumerate_actions_finish).
This bug causes huge memory leak in kded4, about 2-3 MB per 10 seconds.
Disabling powerdevil service (which uses DBUS and policykit-1) solves
this problem, but KDE without powerdevil is not functional on laptop.
So in my case attached patch solves my kded4 with enabled powerdevil
extreme memory leak.
