I'd be willing to do memory profiling - I don't know how, and would need
some assistance in getting it done.  I have noticed that if gnome-shell
is running for a couple of days, I run up towards 400 MB of memory used,
and the system starts to feel sluggish.  Logging out and back in, or
restarting the gnome-shell reduce RAM usage to 67 MB, and restore system
performance.
