Indeed, but we're talking about 3GB of memory here, which seems hard to justify for such an application. > awk '/Name|VmSize|VmPeak/' /proc/$(pidof gnome-shell)/status > Name: gnome-shell > VmPeak: 1250636 kB > VmSize: 1190912 kB More than 1GB also sounds excessive, so you seem to be suffering from the same problem. Of course, maybe this is not a problem, it is just an artifact of gnome-shell sharing a lot of memory with other applications, so it's not actually eating up all your RAM. But this explanation seems unlikely. I think it deserves a bug report. Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
