The core problem is definitely in appindicator or something appindicator depends on. I wrote a small test program that updates an appindicator menu once a second, similar to what nm-applet does.
It exhibits the same leak in the dbus message system that I posted above. ** Attachment added: "simple test program to reproduce leak" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/780602/+attachment/2135722/+files/appindicator.c -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780602 Title: nm-applet leaks memory and stops functioning after a while -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
