gnome-panel eats a lot of memory

[Dennis Jacobfeuerborn]

Yesterday the same thing occured again. (I usually notice this when I try 
to open a terminal and gnome tells me that there isn't enough memory left 
to do that)
This time however I also realized that the eog that was sitting on my 
desktop for the last few days displaying a picture apparently had grown to 
128mb too. After closing it and loading the same picture up again it used a 
mere 12mb so it seems eog is also affected by some sort of leak. The 
question is how an application like eog that just sits there and does 
nothing can leak like that.
