Public bug reported:
This is bug is also related to packages gnome-shell-calendar-server and
evolution-calendar-factory.
For some reason either gnome-shell or the previous two packages can use
gigabytes of memory.
I've left my computer running overnight, with all applications closed, just to
come back next morning and find my desktop session frozen, and having to kill
on of the previously mentioned processes to get back my machine.
I've found other bugs, like #1856838 but that one focuses on opening the
overwiev, which after opening and closing dozens of times, my memory
doesn't increase. Also, #1882781 which is marked as a duplicate of the
previous bug.
