Some more investigation... valgrind points to "listMounts" dbus call as the culprit of the leaks. This is the same call that is full of old pidgin URLs and other cruft. I wrote a python script to call it and gvfsd leaks 200kb every time. But the real killer.....
gnome-system-monitor calls "listMounts" 17 times for every update, causing nearly 2mb to leak for every update. I've sent the bug report and testcase for gvfsd upstream. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #646867 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646867 ** Also affects: gnome-system-monitor via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646867 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751523 Title: gnome-system-monitor spams dbus with requests for volume information -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
