You are definitely running the latest libdbusmenu. Based on what you are saying, there could be another leak somewhere. Does it go away if you pull out the battery?
If you look at comment #43, there are some commands you can run to get a better idea of what is going on. The sequence is: battery -> kernel -> upowerd -> dbus -> gnome-power- manager -> appindicator (Also by the way I am not the bug fixer, or a full time Ubuntu developer. Just another affected user.) -- memory leak in gnome-power-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of TI OMAP Developers, which is a direct subscriber.

Monitor the output of the command for a few hours $ watch -n1 'grep heap -A11 /proc/$( pidof gnome-power-manager )/smaps' VERIFICATION SUCCEEDED: - Memory usage is stable over time DESCRIPTION: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager (2.30.0-0ubuntu1) seems to have a memory leak my machine running Lucid. I witnessed it using up to 120MB in the RES column according to "top". My machine is 64 bit and is connected to a APC uninterruptible power supply. I haven't yet tried unplugging it to see if the UPS is somehow related to this problem. Another person reported a similar problem in bug #196688 comment 25. Opening a new bug seemed like a good idea since that bug was fixed 2 years ago. Here is some information for what gnome-power-manager looks like after running for a long period of time (from /proc/`pidof gnome-power-manager`/smaps): 0147b000-08810000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] Size: 118356 kB Rss: 118188 kB Pss: 118188 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 118188 kB Referenced: 118020 kB Swap: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB I rebooted my machine and let it sit at the login screen.
