[plasmashell] [Bug 385644] Memory leak freed by *starting* plasmashell

I'm more than happy to believe that you get memory back when you kill
plasmashell.

That's generic memory leak, search on here for the one about slideshow, if
you're on Qt5.9.1 it's probably that.

Not exactly proof, but this is a before and after a restart.

$ free -h
  totalusedfree  shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:15G9.1G158M5.7G6.3G344M
Swap:   15G1.9G 13G

$ killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell

$ free -h
  totalusedfree  shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:15G7.1G7.5G128M996M7.9G
Swap:   15G7.0M 15G


~9G of memory freed by performing the restart, and all I can do is promise that
just the killing of plasmashell doesn't give this result.

Do not know what else I can provide to confirm.

(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #1)
> That's not how Linux memory works.

This is just what I observe. My guess is that in the process of starting
plasmashell something else gets restarted which clears the leak. I can't
pinpoint what the memory is being used for.

All I know is that over the duration of a few hours the used memory pages
increases to the point where swapping starts and eventually the entire system
slows down to an unbearable crawl. 

If you could help me pinpoint the source I might be able to be more
descriptive.
