Bug ID: 442432
Summary: Memory leak when changing wallpaper
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: 8p9gce...@relay.firefox.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I am using the SmartER video wallpaper plugin which is why I noticed the issue
but it is present when using the default wallpaper plugins as well.
Because I am using a large video file as my wallpaper I switch it out to
slideshow so that I could put my computer to sleep (it takes a long time to go
to sleep if I don't). The problem is that after a few days of doing this my ram
usage becomes extremely high. This memory is freed immediately if I restart
KDE.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check the amount of ram that is being used.
2. Set wallpaper to one of the options that is not in use.
3. Change it back to the initial option.
4. Repeat several times to increase the effect.
5. Check the amount of ram that is now being used.
OBSERVED RESULT
Ram usage increased.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ram usage stays the same.
