I'm attaching a valgrind report with full debugging symbols. The memory leak is very notorious.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1101903] Re: Constantly rising memory usage by gnome-panel
Michael, under Linux, swap memory is not freed automatically. It depends on other factors, such as, when will swapped-out data be needed again. I'd just ignore swap usage and check physical RAM usage (RES). I'm getting the same misbehavior too: gnome-panel uses up memory. It used about 4.9 GB in my system once over three days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101903 Title: Constantly rising memory usage by gnome-panel Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: At login, gnome-panel uses about 1% of my system memory (5973600kb) as determined by ps u.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1101903] Re: Constantly rising memory usage by gnome-panel
Upon further review: Removing the clock application from the panel removes the memory leak. On reinstallation the leak reoccurs. When I use the clock included in the Indicator Applet I don't see an increase in CPU usage with time, although available swap space drops by on the average 0.01 GB/hour. That's much slower than with the stand-alone clock on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101903 Title: Constantly rising memory usage by gnome-panel Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: At login, gnome-panel uses about 1% of my system memory (5973600kb) as determined by ps u.
