Same problem here on Hardy Heron. No vertical panel at all.

Till I installed gutsy the problem of the gnome-panel was annoying me a lot.
I have been killing gnome-panels many many times, today I discovered that
killing the gnome panel was not restarting correctly, only after closing some
windows, it is working ok, so it seems that there is a problem of
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
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
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.
This just started happening to me within the last week or two in Feisty.
You can literally sit and watch gnome-panel and it will grow by about
100KBytes of resident memory every 10 seconds. I tried a few things to
isolate the cause but ended up just running valgrind to see what it saw.
I've
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
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

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

Ah, yes, it does sound different. Sorry for the (probable) red-herring.
Any ideas?
Just in case, I wonder if (it's enabled,) disabling accessibility has
any effect...

Closing this report for now, feel free to re open it if you can
reproduce the same behavior and provide a valgring log with Gutsy
Gibbon, thanks a lot.

I can confirm this on my setup also... and it effects 4 main
applications.
Gnome-panel -- i've seen it take up well over 250mb of ram.
Xserver ( /usr/bin/X ), takes up over 90mb.
Gaim -- well over 120mb... which is unacceptable.
Firefox -- takes up over 170mb
other notes:
i usually have a lot
Do you still get the bug?

It relies upon a newer version of libc6 which won't install on feisty
(backports won't allow it) ill just wait until gusty is out

marking unconfirmed, we get hundred of bugs a week and I'm too busy to
look at this one which doesn't happen on my desktop, maybe somebody else
can work on it

Possible memory leak? gome-panel is a memory hog
currently the gnome panel uses 236.5 MB, 179MB of that are heap
the next biggest 4 memory fields are iconcache, about 6 mb each.
applets not included in ubuntu that i use are gtkwifi and computertemp,
altough removing them and restarting the panel makes no difference,
after some hours it gets big

the usage might be due to valgrind, having a log with an obvious leak
would be required to work on it. Do you steps to trigger the bug? Does
it happen all the time? Could you try to remove an applet and note if
things are better, maybe it's due to one of them configured on your
desktop? Do you use

thought hat too, when looking at it, but its still a fact that it used 120 MB
more RAM then a fresh spawned process.
anything else i could do to provide some data?
