Public bug reported: I upgraded from Karmic to Natty dev a few days ago, and since then I have massive memory consuption problems with KDE 4.6.1.
kded4 growse huge after only a few hours of KDE usage and causes lots of swapping. My system has 2 GB of physical RAM and 2 GB swap, and yesterday nearly all of the swap and most of the RAM was used, kded4 taking about 1,6 GB all by itself, according to top (which is not *that* precise, I know, but it's an indicator.) kded's RSS was about 170 MB, so most of its virtual memory must have been paged out - dead, leaked memory? - or not actually been occupied. Is this a known problem, or is there any way to determine for what reason kded allocates that much memory?
