I don't know whether a problem I have is related to this issue or not. On one of my machines which has been upgraded over several years and is now running 19.10 just one of the configured users is seeing a dramatic leak in gnome-shell, even when nothing is happening on the UI. Immediately after logging on using the Ubuntu selection from the logon screen gnome shell shows as using about 134MB. From there it climbs at about 300MB per hour and after a few hours the machine starts using swap and performance grinds to a crawl. This happens even if the user logs on and then the machine is left completely alone. Logout and back in frees all the memory. A test user I have configured sees no such problem. I have uninstalled all extensions apart from the system ones, disabled all the system ones and reset all the gnome settings using dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ to no avail. Also I have removed ~/.local/share/gnome-shell and allowed it to recreate it. I can't see anything obvious in the log. It must be something in my settings that is triggering it but I have run out of ideas on what to try.
