Bug#959044: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons: Resource leak

[Ian Blanes]

Package: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
Version: 19.01.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

There is a resource leak on this gnome-shell extension. Keeping a desktop
session open for multiple days usually results in very high memory usage, high
cpu usage, and overall desktop unresponsiveness.

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

shell

Upgrading from 19.01.1 to 19.01.4 (upstream) fixes the issue.

Kind regards,

Ian Blanes
