Public bug reported: Gnome-system-monitor shows a process "gnome-software" that continues running after the application window has been closed. The process constantly takes 100–200MB RAM and was not there after boot/login.
Observed behavior: Process does not quit after quitting the application window, although it is neither used nor does it seem to give any other noticeable benefit from the reserved memory. Expected behavior: After closing the application window, it's process ends.
