Public bug reported: If a user keeps their session running (and just locks the screensaver) over 3 or more days, the XFce desktop and XFce-ce4-menu take up all the available vram and most of the available ram. I have the XFce-menu on my taskbar.
At the point where XFce-ce4-menu is holding almost all of my vram and 50% of my ram hostage. The memory map says that 794M of vram is in the heap. XFcedesktop has 391M of vram. I know the work-around is to end the session every day or more frequently, but I tend to work on multi-day projects such as text-books, and it takes too long to recreate all of my work and research every day. I refer back to the results of processes running in terminal windows, and surfing histories that follow a specific path. I guess I don't need to bore you with my logistics. This is not just a moaning session. When it gets like this I cannot open any applications and have to force the system down, or unplug it.... ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- XFce heap not purging https://launchpad.net/bugs/59924 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
