after letting this run for ~ 6 hours, i have /proc/<pid>/statm output for 
almost that entire time.
I'm now seeing a 'top' report of:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
 7473 smoser    20   0  562m  64m  26m S    0  1.7   0:07.32 unity-2d-places    
 5382 smoser    20   0  571m  51m  26m S    0  1.3   0:41.79 unity-2d-launch    
 5423 smoser    20   0  396m  37m   9m S    8  1.0   1:01.63 unity-panel-ser    
 5381 smoser    20   0  507m  35m  20m S    2  0.9   0:49.17 unity-2d-panel  

So it seems I've jumped in RES memory by 5M.  statm now looks like:
130041 9374 5327 10 0 39430 0

the log that i have of statm output is generally pretty stable except for:
2012-01-19 19:33:10: 113405 8771 5326 10 0 22794 0
2012-01-19 19:34:10: 113405 8771 5326 10 0 22794 0
2012-01-19 19:35:10: 129789 9100 5326 10 0 39178 0
2012-01-19 19:36:10: 129789 9239 5326 10 0 39178 0

At that point the 'data + stack' (see man proc) increased dramatically.
I'm not sure whether or not that correlated with the growth in RES.   I
really need to read more on memory use, I'm not sure all this is that
useful.

However, in a nutshell, my memory footprint reported by 'RES' in top did
climb 5M over the course of 6 hours *without* indicator-multiload
running.
