Public bug reported:
gnome-shell memory usage is getting worse every hour by exhausting more
than 4 GB OF RAM and then getting frozen for some minutes till it get
crashed without logging out the user (which means all my USER's running
processes didn't get killed anyway and are being running in the
background)
