[Bug 58127] gnome-typing-manager takes up way too much memory

[Mark A. Hershberger]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Today, I was checking Bon Echo's memory usage in Edgy and I noticed that
GTM was taking up an extraordinary amount of memory.

Sorting by %mem in top, the first three lines are:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

I'm at a loss to figure out why GTM needs that much memory to blank the
screen each hour.

I've had my laptop running at this point for 16 hours.
