I reported the large memory leak in clock-applet:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952763
(TLDR: clock-applet grows by 1GB/day when reporting weather)
Since clock-applet is a default install on every Fedora, I thought this
would be widely reported---it essentially makes the system unusable
within a day or two if you run into this problem---but that doesn't
seem to be the case. I guess people don't see it because nobody
reconfigures clock-applet.
Anyway, I am looking for a way to debug this: I tried attaching GDB to
the running process but the results are unreliable (see BZ). I couldn't
figure out how to run valgrind on the executable: it has to be run in
the context of the Gnome panel, so how do I tell it to run 'valgrind
/usr/libexec/clock-applet', and how do I get access to the results?
Is there another way?
