I can confirm what Mikhail says. After I connected to my laptop using VNC , it stays very, very slow. I see that nm-applet was consuming ~1GB RAM and X server consuming ~ 100% CPU. I killed nm-applet and everything come back to normal.
I'm thinking this has some link with Vinagre's option to show a icon at notification area when someone connect to my laptop. I'm using Linux Mint 17, but the packages "comes from" Ubuntu repositories: network-manager-gnome 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.1-mint1 vino 3.8.1-0ubuntu1 vinagre 3.10.2-0ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684599 Title: Memory leak in nm-applet Status in elementary OS: Fix Released Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet: Invalid Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager the nm-applet is eating my ram (149MB) not that much when freshly booted. im using wifi connection via b43 driver for broadcom 4311/12 hardware (on Lenovo N100 laptop) on Ubuntu 11.04 natty 32-bit with 2.6.37-7-generic kernel indicator applet version 0.4.6-0ubuntu1 rest of the packages are up to date with proposed and backports enabled - no PPAs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/684599/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
