Indeed, when I run manually the command "/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --force /usr/share/icons/hicolor" as root, I have that X jumps to 2Gb of memory usage. More precisely, during the execution of gtk-update-icon-cache, /proc/<Xpid>/status contains VmPeak: 2209880 kB VmSize: 2191224 kB while after gtk-update-icon-cache has terminated, it is just VmPeak: 2209880 kB VmSize: 230444 kB I do not know why firefox and opera (and probably other packages) installation induces an higher memory usage, but the problem seems to be triggered by gtk-update-icon-cache -- 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.
