I noticed that the gnome-panel seems to have a memory leak. Every time
new a window is opened and closed again the memory usage grows.
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
13643 erwin 16 0 611m 461m 12m S 0.0 24.5 2:02.01 gnome-panel
Open a new window
13643 erwin 17 0 621m 471m 12m S 42.3 25.0 2:04.89 gnome-panel
Close it
13643 erwin 15 0 621m 471m 12m S 0.0 25.0 2:04.89 gnome-panel
Open a new window
13643 erwin 17 0 629m 479m 12m R 74.2 25.5 2:07.30 gnome-panel
Close it
13643 erwin 15 0 631m 481m 12m S 0.0 25.6 2:07.77 gnome-panel
etc.
When i continue to open/close windows it eats up my 2G RAM and 4G Swap
and other application start to complain they can't get memory anymore.
This is with Rawhide on x86_64.

quite a
lot for a simple panel. Does anybody else see this too? I installed
FC4Test2 and then upgraded to Rawhide.
