Hi, okay, sorry for that. I thought that eating _all_ the memory available would be a security issue.
I am now using the FLUXBOX window manager so that this indicator/dbus leakage does appear. I fear that I will run into problems with FLUXBOX when I have to use my laptop for presentations, because connecting other displays/projectors usually only works with gnome/unity, which is missing now. Anyway, I think this is an IMPORTANT bug to solve! any help would appreciated (or suggestions or questions for more info). thanks, indium On Sun, Nov 06, 2011 at 03:58:12PM -0000, Marc Deslauriers wrote: > Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu > better.
