No other application contains such figures. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 When I start a KDE4 session the amount of the Xorg resident memory is about 17M. Then it gradually grows up to 350M or more blocking work of applications. The xrestop shows that this memory is owned by pixmaps of plasma-desktop. Namely, I launch xrestop after entering a session, do any action and trace changes. With ANY change on the desktop (hiding or appearing panels or windows, of hidden icons of systray, changes of icons in systray, even switching between windows) the figures in the columns "Misc" and "Pxm mem" against plasma-desktop rise and NEVER fall. As for Xorg, nearly the whole excessive memory belongs to the "heap" section (according to the "/proc/.../smaps" file). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a KDE4 session. 2. Launch xrestop in an xterm. 2a. Launch top or krunner window. 3. Do anything and look to xrestop and top/krunner. Actual Results: The pixmap memory is constantly increasing. The Xorg resident memory is synchronously rising. After a pair of hours the last reach critical values (about 350MB), where you have to restart either the plasma-desktop (less efficiently: Xorg resident memory will decrease slowly after that) or the X session (efficiently, but inconvenient for your work). Expected Results: The pixmap memory (as well as the number of pictures) rises and falls from time to time. The average Xorg resident memory remains the same rising or decreasing slightly in accordance with the weight of the applications. -- 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.
