It's a simple one-line change, only affecting gnome-power-manager (rather than fixing root cause in libappindicator, because that potentially may adversely affect consumers that worked around it, though we know of none). gnome-power-manager is seemingly the worst offender, so it gets special treatment. Test case right below. Watch memory use for a bit. It may go up for a few minutes, but then stabilizes. Debdiff to follow, it's already been uploaded to maverick-proposed. =================== TEST CASE: (at the beginning because it's a long post): 1. Monitor the output of the command for a few hours $ watch -n1 'grep heap -A11 /proc/$( pidof gnome-power-manager )/smaps' VERIFICATION SUCCEEDED: - Memory usage is stable over time DESCRIPTION: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager (2.30.0-0ubuntu1) seems to have a memory leak my machine running Lucid. I witnessed it using up to 120MB in the RES column according to "top". My machine is 64 bit and is connected to a APC uninterruptible power supply. I haven't yet tried unplugging it to see if the UPS is somehow related to this problem. Another person reported a similar problem in bug #196688 comment 25. Opening a new bug seemed like a good idea since that bug was fixed 2 years ago. Here is some information for what gnome-power-manager looks like after running for a long period of time (from /proc/`pidof gnome-power-manager`/smaps): 0147b000-08810000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] Size: 118356 kB Rss: 118188 kB Pss: 118188 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 118188 kB Referenced: 118020 kB Swap: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB I rebooted my machine and let it sit at the login screen.
