Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.14.2-1
Severity: normal
I've had gweather running for less than 24 hours, and I see it's resident
memory usage is at 20MB:
diz $ ps -ef | grep gweather-applet-2
calum 12240 1 0 Jun21 ? 00:01:52
/usr/lib/gnome-applets/gweather-applet-2
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=35
diz $ ps -Fp 12240
UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD
calum 12240 1 0 22546 23092 0 Jun21 ? 00:01:52 /usr/lib/gnome-a
which seems insane. I'm only monitoring two weather stations.
Might we have a memory leak here? It's an awful waste of memory, if not...
best regards,
calum.

First, the memory usage is probably between 2300 kB and 3.6 MB per
gweather applet. Granted, it could be better, but the applets are
written with the full GNOME stack, so I'm afraid it will always be
much.
Second, I mentionned a patch to save memory by loading multiple applets
from the same *process*, but I was wrong, I meant this patch:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/39155
which will only run the notification area from the same process as the
panel.
So, given that:
- no quick solution exist (no patch as I first thought)
- the memory usage is lower than you originally thought
... I'm closing this bug.
Please reopen it if necessary (or mail me).
Bye,
