>Description:
I'm using the gome2-2.14.1 port with the standard clock-applet in the
panel. After logging in, the allocated memory for the "clock-applet"
process increases steadily at about 1kB per second. After a day or two,
this simple little clock program had allocated more than 450MB of
memory, nearly exhausting the swap space in the process, and
generally slowing everything down.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put the clock in your gnome panel and witness its memory consumption
go up in "top".
