Bug description:
  After I upgraded to Ubuntu 25.10, I noticed that I'm periodically running out of memory couple of times per day. `watch free -h` indeed shows a huge shared memory usage (3 GB and rising). The shared memory usage climbs up at a rate about 3mb/s and there's apparently no ceiling - something just uses all of the memory.
  `htop` shows no app with a huge usage of the shared memory, but I do notice gnome-shell using a lot of virtual memory (5G and climbing up).

  When I log out and log back in, the shared memory usage is reset to
  100mb and starts climbing up again. `df -h|grep tmpfs` shows a stable
  usage of 2mb, so this can't be the culprit. This leads me to believe
  that `gnome-shell` is the culprit here. I'll try to disable all addons
  and I'll try again.
