[Bug 760877] [NEW] kded4 process grows on memory usage

[alfabravoteam]

Public bug reported:

I've installed Kubuntu 11.04 beta updating from a previous kubuntu (which was just installed from a 10.10 standard ubuntu, installing kubuntu-desktop and uninstalling all the gnome stuff).
This computer is a HP dv6810 laptop, 3 yr old with an old battery that barely charges. Hence, I guessed this was related to the same thing as gnome's battery-indicator problem eating memory... and I removed it system tray. No good. Disabled Stagi and nepomuk as well... the 100% processor is no more (heh) but this problem still appears.
Now I'm testing with the whole system tray gone (maybe notifications...) but it looks like it grows as well.

The ubuntu-bug capture I'm sending was generated after an hour of use.
The screenshots relate to previous tests (the last was from last night
and today morning). Hopefully it will help you on catching the leak.
