I can confirm this also. Recent installs on 3 different machines, all with similar results.
Home PC - desktop, 64 bit Maverick(Pinguy version), 2 gig ram, wired ethernet, no wireless installed 38 hours=nm-applet at 722.6M and continuing to grow. As stated above, about .1 every 10-15 seconds. .xsession-errors file full of same errors listed above, current file size of 82.5M. network-manager-gnome version installed is 0.8.2+git.20101123t161608.f143e76-0ubuntu1 Work PC - desktop, 32 bit Maverick, fully updated, 1 gig ram, wired ethernet, no wireless installed, after 3 days, memory usage was over 92% and swap file (10G) was at 95%. and completely unresponsive. At the time did not know about this issue, so did not look further. Not sure what network-manager-gnome version installed Laptop, 64 bit Maverick, 2 gig ram, wireless and wired, never connect wired since reboot, after 36 hours uptime, nm-applet memory usage at 8.2M and holding. No nm-applet errors in .xsession-errors file, file size of 18.2K. network-manager-gnome version installed is 0.8.2+git.20100809t190028.290dc-0ubuntu3 All 3 machines are using the default desktop so the icon is being used. The laptop is a fresh install and has not had any of the updates installed. I will do that next and see if the problem comes up with an updated network-manager-gnome. I do seem to recall though that when I had Pinguy(an ubuntu derivative that uses the newer network-manager- gnome) installed on the laptop I had the same horrible memory leak. I originally blamed the problem on conky as I had never used that app before and had never had the memory problem. However, I am now running the conky app with the vanilla Maverick and am not experiencing any of the memory problems. I hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684599 Title: Memory leak in nm-applet -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
