Hi, I agree with Matt, this problem does not seem to happen with the nvidia/metacity combination. That doesn't mean that it is definitely a compiz problem though - the "black windows" problem with earlier nvidia drivers running out of video memory was only seen with beryl and nvidia. Chris M

Travis, that's my exactly my point. With the nvidia driver, I was seeing the same behavior as described here. While running top, I could see the resident memory used by compiz.real rising steadily. Then I removed the nvidia driver. Of course compiz.real was no longer one of the running processes,

If you're not using the nvidia driver you're not using compiz so you couldn't be seeing a 'memory leak in compiz'. -- memory leak with ring https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. --

Don't be so quick to point the finger at nvidia. I removed the nvidia drivers and found the same behavior. Often, not all the memory a window uses gets freed upon closing the window, and streaming applications, music, video, seem to leave behind about 20% of the data they process in memory. In all

I've tried this, and it's not a problem with any plugin. Under nvidia-glx-new, I ran compiz with no plugins enabled, spawned 100 gnome-terminals then killed them. compiz.real's shared memory size increased by ~150Mb and didn't decrease on closing the terminals. Spawning another 100 terminals

Same here. Just upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy. When I maximize/minimize windows compiz eats my memory eagerly. I switched window resizing from the default 'outline' to 'normal' and that seems to worsen things: resizing then also eats memory by the meg. I attached a log of 'ps aux' of compiz each s

I should also add that the amount of memory leaked appears to be (somewhat unsurprisingly) proportional to the size of the window. That is to say, if I open and close a new firefox window, I see compiz resident memory jump by ~10MB. With a smaller terminal window, it's ~3MB as noted before. -- m
