On openSUSE 13.1 x64 with KDE 4.11.5 and the "radeon" kernel driver, I have noticed that plasma-desktop increases in memory size the longer my desktop is up, and it crawls up over 200 MB easily when opening widgets. When closing widgets, activities, etc., the memory is not freed. Switching activities and creating new activities also does this. At the same time, Xorg can take over 400 MB of ram in less than a day, depending on what I am doing. kded4 also can start hogging ram as plasma-desktop increases its memory footprint. Logging in and out of KDE resolves the issue, but I shouldn't have to do this. On a Windows 7 machine, the OS can be up for weeks on end with no increase in memory usage of explorer.exe, etc. explorer.exe takes around 30 MB of ram and it never goes much beyond that. I would use a different desktop environment, but Gnome 3.x is absolutely atrocious and is just about as bad as Windows 8, and XFCE doesn't seem to a point where there's very much support...I don't want to be running a fringe desktop. I have filed numerous bug reports about this on Novell's Bugzilla as well as with KDE, and nobody is doing anything about it. I'm not the only one that has this issue. Is anyone else here experiencing this, and what's being done about it?
