Bug description:
  This *may* be an nvidia-specific problem, but the RSS of gnome-shell
  on my system grows without limit (over a couple of hours it's
  increased past 10G).

  At the same time, gnome-shell appears to become progressively less
  responsive.

  Restarting gnome-shell (via <Alt><F2> restart) drops shell RSS down to
  ~400MB and improves system responsiveness a bit.
