I am not sure if yet another "me too" helps anything, but I am seeing this problem on a ubuntu 10.10 x86 desktop. Despite being a desktop, gnome-power-manager sees some action because it warns when the mouse (logitech mx1000) battery gets low.
On this computer gnome-power-manager now takes 102636kB (Size from /proc/pid/smaps) after five days of uptime. The computer is always on and after about a month gnome-power-manager has to be killed and restarted because the overall performance starts to degrade caused by wasted memory. Gnome-power-manager does not seem to ever get swapped out and stays in RAM, so it must access all that allocated memory quite often. I am not sure which menu icons matter, but for example gedit does not show icons in file/edit/etc menus, but gnome-panel shows them in applications/places/system menus. There is no interface tab in gnome- appearance-properties to change the setting. BTW, why is this bug hidden when searching "gnome-power-manager memory leak" in bugs.ubuntu.com? This page is the first hit in google with the same search string. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569273 Title: memory leak in gnome-power-manager -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
