Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104136 Title: Leaks GVariant's in multiple places Status in libdbusmenu package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libdbusmenu source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in libdbusmenu source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Bug description: [Impact] * Affected applications with a high number of menu updates reach the maximum value allowed for the ID of a menuitem, and rejects further menu changes. Because the application underneath the menu has already removed the underlying actual GtkMenuItem objects, it is impossible to activate the items -- to effect the actions linked to the menuitems. * Some indicators have a relatively high and climbing memory usage due to the way they build menus to be displayed in the panel. [Test Case] * Run nm-applet for a while (multiple days without shutdown, without killing the application), notice whether the menus are still usable. * Run indicators for a while, observe memory usage. [Regression Potential] Indicators with a very high amount of updates may be affected as circling back past the maximum value, if a new menu item is created with an ID still in use by a menuitem that has not been removed yet, neither or only one of the two menu items might be available to be clicked -- this could confuse users or cause error messages to be displayed. Risk is low however since network-manager-gnome (nm-applet) is currently the application with the most menu updates. [Other Info] Dbusmenu seems to assume in multiple places that g_variant_parse() returns a floating reference. It doesn't, so these GVariant's are leaked. It does things like: g_variant_builder_add_value(&builder, g_variant_parse(....)); GVariant *variant = g_variant_parse(....); g_variant_ref_sink(variant); ... g_variant_unref(variant); Both of these cases result in a leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdbusmenu/+bug/1104136/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
