I've been watching the value, and it seems to be increasing, but only slowly (now, for instance, it's 88MB instead of 85MB). This X session was started about a week ago, so I guess even a slow leak might have reached 85MB by now... Do applets in the panel generally share the same (gnome-panel) process/x-window? I've noticed some applets seem to show up as separate processes with their own xrestop entry, e.g., I see the following in xrestop: 1200000 8 30 0 37 17 849K 1K 850K 2889 multiload-applet 1400000 5 27 0 31 15 491K 1K 492K 2891 mixer_applet2 Other than those two, all I have is pretty standard stuff: * The gnome menu button * 4 "launcher" icons * The task list * The standard clock/date display Ok -- I just did "killall gnome-panel" and the new gnome-panel seems to be using much less pixmap memory: now it's using about 3 MB. I'll watch it for a while, but it's certainly smelling like a leak to me at the moment....
