Public bug reported:
At login, gnome-panel uses about 1% of my system memory (5973600kb) as
determined by "ps u". This rises at the rate of 1-2% per hour that I am
logged on. Simultaneously, free swap memory starts to decrease from its
initial value of 5858300kb. If I stay logged in long enough (3-4 days),
there is little free memory, and trying to launch applications results
in a window stating:
Could not launch 'package name'
Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory)
Though they can be started on the command line from an open xterm.
Logging out and logging in releases memory.
killall -9 gnome-panel
releases almost all memory -- some swap memory is still used.
