** Description changed: - Opening the LaTeX editor Kile causes u-p-s to use ~10MB more with each - program start, e.g. after opening and closing Kile ten times, "ps aux" - showed u-p-s going from 23MB to 119MB memory usage (resident). + Opening various programs causes unity-panel-service to use more and more + resident memory (that won't be freed after program termination). Attaching a valgrind log of unity-panel-service containing ten starts of - Kile: + Kile (which caused unity-panel-service to go from 23 MB to 119 MB + resident memory usage): ==8130== LEAK SUMMARY: ==8130== definitely lost: 45,015 bytes in 508 blocks ==8130== indirectly lost: 203,173 bytes in 5,553 blocks ==8130== possibly lost: 23,453 bytes in 450 blocks ==8130== still reachable: 28,961,416 bytes in 525,544 blocks + TEST CASE: + 1.
