[Bug 771565] New: Gnome shell leaks memory
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771565 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771565#c0 Summary: Gnome shell leaks memory Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: badshah400@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.22+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Chromium/17.0.963.56 Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari/535.22+ SUSE/12.2 (3.4.2) Epiphany/3.4.2 With RC1 installed, gnome-shell keeps using more and more physical memory the longer one keeps using the desktop. I have seen upto about 200 MiB memory being used by gnome-shell at various times on my laptop. Some of the memory leaks have been reported in the upstream bug-tracker https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678079 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678406 and the fixes suggested there have been committed upstream. These commits make the situation better, and it is important that we get these fixes into openSUSE 12.2. I must add that these commits do not cure the memory leaking problem completely but reduces it significantly to the point where it isn't much of a bother. I have integrated these commits as a single patch to the openSUSE:12.2 gnome-shell package and will shortly make a submit request.
