           Summary: wnck-applet causes X to leak like crazy
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-panel
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: anthony at interlink.com.au

My X server grows by about 90-100Mb a day. After a pointer from daniels, I
looked at xrestop, and that told me it was wnck-applet that was the guilty
party. I did have one in a panel at the bottom (with all windows on all
desktops) and a smaller one at the top only showing the current dekstop's
windows. I've killed one of them, and will see if I can narrow it down further. 

Removing it from the panel and re-adding it freed all the memory up, although
it's started growing again. This is on Hoary, using the nv driver on a Dell
Inspiron 5150 (GeForce FX Go 5200, if it matters). 

The rate of growth (100M a day) is enough to cause _serious_ difficulties - I
shouldn't need to have more than a gig of swap just to keep X working for more
than a week <wink>
