I think I've got a working workaround : - apt install appmenu-qt5 - in your ~/.profile, add 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=appmenu-qt5' - reload your session
No more memory leak for me, but I've only applied that a couple of hours ago, so I'm not 100% sure yet. If this is confirmed, it means the culprit is the new native Qt5 dbus appmenu/indicator support in yakkety, while in xenial and before an external plugin called 'appmenu-qt5' was used for the integration of Qt5 menus in Unity.
