In Karmic, I can confirm that the -m Platform script does not die after 3 minutes, consuming 10MB until reboot. I'll give a look at this problem.
Though, you mention in the description that there's a 90MB usage on first launch. I guess this comes from the package installation, isn't it? If that usage disappears after it's done, then that part is not a bug. ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: gst Status: New => Confirmed -- Useless memory consumption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238183 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to system-tools-backends in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
