Public bug reported:
im using variety program to render clock, date etc. onto my wallpaper and then
variety change wallpaper every minute - so i have live clock on it
variety changes wallpaper using these commands:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p
/backdrop/screen0/monitorLVDS1/workspace0/last-image -s "" 2> /dev/null
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p
/backdrop/screen0/monitorLVDS1/workspace0/last-image -s "$WP" 2> /dev/null
where $WP is path to the wallpaper
after 24 hours or so xfdesktop uses 1gb of memory or so - after 2-3 days it can
grow to 2,5 gb - after i kill the process it restarts automatically with fresh
memory but still keeps growing.
with variety turned off after 24hours xfdesktop is still 22mb (same as it was
just started) - so it for sure is leaking when changing wallpaper
im using ubuntu 14.04 x86-64bit with xfce installed (versions from main
ubuntu repos - dont use any ppas for that)
