Public bug reported:

I've found a big memory leak in gnome-session. I think it might be on
the ubuntu patch to the logout dialog but I haven't tested the package
without that patch yet to be sure.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a terminal and run 'top' on it sorting the processes by memory
usage ('M').

2. Set gnome-power-manager to aks what to do when the power button is
pressed.

3. Press the power button.

4. The ubuntu logout dialog will appear.

5. Either hit the Escape key or the Cancel button to dismiss the dialog.

6. You'll see that the gnome-session process has grown ~4 Mb of RSS
memory.

7. Repeat steps 3-6 until you are convinced this is a big memory leak
:-)
