I have a similar problem. After some normal use, nautilus eats up 300MB RAM, with the only remedy being restarting nautilus. I have opened no folder containing videos, so it isn't the video thumbnailer, however, there are lots of pdfs which get thumbnailed.
This problem only appeared recently for me. I'm not sure it is related, but I've started using compiz at about the same time. I don't remember seeing this bug when I used metacity. It may be a path to explore (however, I don't have time for it right now). -- nautilus memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204413 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
