[Bug 108812] Re: Possible memory leak? gome-panel is a memory hog
I can confirm the same problem on Gutsy. Memory consumption and CPU used to grow up to 60%-70% within less than an hour freezing the whole machine. I turned the vertical panel to horizontal and the problem is gone. Just like that. I didn't even have to reboot. Another hint I would like to add is that when I first upgraded I had to slightly widen the vertical panel or icons would not draw properly. I don't know if it is a related or an unrelated bug.

I had the same problem, most often the trigger was opening evince for a .ps or .pdf document. It's one of the things done when I have already a lot of applications open. As Paul (pantoine) describes, I happen to use my menu also in a vertical manner! That's I guess no coincidence. I have it now at the bottom again, and its back to normal now.

Re: [Bug 108812] Re: Possible memory leak? gome-panel is a memory hog
Hi Shea... I think I've found what causes it! I was running one of my two panels vertically and it seems to me that once enough windows are open the re-drawing of the window icons on the vertical panel causes an infinite loop of some kind (deadlock??) with the mallocs growing mem usage. Workaround: only use horizontal panels. I happened to try this and have been running this way all day without failure. Horizontal is the default with the Gutsy install so chances are others won't see it. Are you running a panel vertically? If not, can you see if you can reproduce the problem this way? Please let me know how I can help further - unfortunately I don't have time to explore the source code as I have several projects with deadlines.

[Bug 108812] Re: Possible memory leak? gome-panel is a memory hog
Thanks for looking into it. Unfortunately I've never had the panels running vertically. I only have one panel -- along the top -- and it runs horizontally. The leak begins immediately upon initializing, so I sadly wouldn't expect to see any new data if I were to run it vertically. I will try it anyway though to see if this exaggerates the problem or causes something in addition to the one I am experiencing.

[Bug 108812] Re: Possible memory leak? gome-panel is a memory hog
I have been running Gutsy Gibbon for a few days - gnome-panel consumes vast amounts of memory in what appears to be a continuous leak which is accompanied by close to 70%+ CPU utilization. I've been looking hard to find the problem... I've tried all sorts of variants, including running different Xorg drivers (fglrx, radeonhd), different window managers (metacity, icewm) and various apps that use the panel and so on. I do have a custom background image enabled for the panels, so will try removing them as my next step.

Re: [Bug 108812] Re: Possible memory leak? gome-panel is a memory hog
Hi Martin, I guess it could be related, but the leak I'm seeing will eat all 2G of my memory within a short time of it being triggered. In top you can see the memory shrinking and the process growing with each and every refresh. So it seems a bit more major than the one you mentioned. I had a good look around at the other bugs mentioning gnome-panel and memory leaks but couldn't find any with such a drastic leak. Any ideas?
