[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#848684: /usr/bin/nm-applet: memory leak

[Ph. Marek]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/nm-applet

"nm-applet" is leaking memory somewhere. Right now "top" says ~180 MB:

     4765 marek     20   0 1348492 177888  19032 S   8,9  1,6  23:21.84 nm-applet


"atop" gave me some statistics... see here for 1-hour-intervals:

    # for a in `seq 7 15` ; do atop -m -r yyyyyyyyyy -b $a:08 -e $a:22 | grep nm-applet ; done
