Hmm. Looks like server side pixmap usage is not the culprit here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

settings: Appearance => Style => Adawita Window Manager => Style => Gilouche

is it enough?

Yes, I was asking because there is a bug in older versions of gtk-xfce-engine which caused such memory leaks, but if you use Adwaita that can't be it. I'm also using cpugraph with the Adwaita gtk theme on 12.2, I currently have an uptime of 27 days and it only takes about 8MB of RSS, however there is another report of memory leaks on the Xfce tracker (https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9691). Can you please post your configuration (should be in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/cpugraph-*.rc) so I can try to reproduce this? Otherwise you'd have to run the panel in debugging mode with valgrind so we can see where it's leaking memory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In order to do that you first need to install all required debug symbols. The easiest way is by running the application once in gdb which will give you a neat list of zypper commands. Run the following for xfce4-terminal which stands out in your list above: gdb -ex 'set logging on' -ex 'run' -ex 'quit' /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal Then quit xfce4-terminal and you should have the a gdb log file gdb.txt. Next, run the following in order to install all required debuginfo packages (make sure the openSUSE Debug repos are enabled): awk '/^Try: zypper/ { $1 = "sudo"; print }' gdb.txt | sh After that you can run the application in valgrind as follows: G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly,resident-modules valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=20 --log-file=valgrind-xfce4-terminal.log /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal Now use the application for a long enough time until memory usage has grown significantly, then quit it and you have a log file valgrind-xfce4-terminal.log which shows potential leaks. You can use the same procedure for other applications such as xchat, xfce4-panel or some other GTK2 application showing this problem, though firefox is probably not worth it. Attach the valgrind logs here, maybe we can get some hint from them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm sorry but it's one of two bugs that break Adwaita for me https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809766 together they make system unusable and do not allow me to do my work.

I feel I did my duty by reporting and initially investigating it, it's confirmed it is happening, my suspicion is there is a bug in handling bitmap backgrounds, fixing it should solve it everywhere? if not - then there is

So far I can only confirm leaks in the cpugraph and netload panel plugins, valgrind shows that the leak is in cairo drawing code which the plugins do not directly use, so it might be at the toolkit or theming engine level but that's not clear yet with the current information we have. I cannot reproduce any unusual memory usage with xfce4-terminal or xfce4-panel itself. Also note that the Adwaita GTK2 theme has changed significantly between openSUSE 12.2 where it was basically a fork of Clearlooks to a pixmap-based theme in 12.3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can switch to Adwaita and test more after the two bugs get fixed: blinking and the leak in cairo drawing code.

That is not so clear yet, hence additional data might help to identify where this is coming from. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
