I can confirm this on my setup also... and it effects 4 main applications. Gnome-panel -- i've seen it take up well over 250mb of ram. Xserver ( /usr/bin/X ), takes up over 90mb. Gaim -- well over 120mb... which is unacceptable. Firefox -- takes up over 170mb
other notes: i usually have a lot of system uptime, and the fixes i came up with are as follows... Xserver Memory usage fix: 1) logout of the session. 2) restart the xserver ( CTRL + ALT + Backspace ) 3) login again. 4) repeat when issue arises again. Gaim/firefox fix: 1) close application 2) restart application. 3) repeat as necessary. Gnome-panel: 1) run the command in a terminal as neccessary... kill -9 `pgrep gnome-panel` -- Possible memory leak? gome-panel is a memory hog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
