Gnome-panel, Nautilus and Memory

Hi all,

First of all sorry for posting a bug report to the mailing list, but
please bear with me on this.

I have a problem with several apps eating all my core and swap, most
notably gnome-panel and nautilus. I have to kill -HUP them once in a
while or I start to get "...couldn't allocate memory" error dialogs.
Evolution and Epiphany also seem to be very memory hungry. This behavior
began just about when Gnome 2.12 was released. I didn't have any
problems during the 2.11 cycle. Also, logging out and back in again
seems to help, at least to some extent.

Could somebody let me know what I should file bug reports against.
Gnome-panel? Nautilus? Or something underlying the two of them? Bugzilla
is probably really useful if you're on 1 Gb/s lines, but here in Ghana
it takes forever to load a single page. Isn't there any alternative way
to report bugs?

Lorenzo
