Public bug reported:
According to GNOME System Monitor, the cpufreq-applet I have in the top
panel of GNOME is currently using 376MB of RAM, after 8 hours uptime. At
system start it's more respectable, in the single digits, the amount of
memory it uses gradually climbs as I leave the system on longer. If I
hover over one of the icons, left-click or right-click, the RAM use goes
up by a few hundred kilobytes. Opening 'About' or 'Preferences' make sit
jump even more. There are 4 instances of the applet, one for each of the
two (hyperthreaded) cores; the system is a Thinkpad T420, with a dual-
core Intel i5-2520M processor.
This is on Ubuntu 16.04.1, all updates installed, using the version of
gnome-applets which is in the default Ubuntu repositories.
