Public bug reported:
When gnome-system-monitor started it uses about 52-53Mb of memory. While
it is running for a long period of time the amount of memory used by
gnome-system-monitor is continuously growing. In ten days gnome-system-
monitor uses already 7Gb. It makes the system start to use swap and it
makes a negative impact on the whole system performance. After closing
gnome-system-monitor and starting again it uses about the same 52-53Mb
of RAM.
Expected Result:
gnome-system-monitor uses about the same RAM regardless of how much time it is
working
Actual Result:
gnome-system-monitor uses 7Gb of RAM after 10 days of working
