Public bug reported:

Recently, I have discovered a memory leak with Nautilus. Lately,
whenever the process is running (even for desktop handling, not just the
file manager), it will slowly grow and become a memory-eatin-machine.
Today, I left my computer locked and on, and when I got home it was
taking 3.4GB!!! I have a feeling this has to do with the desktop
handler, since it happens without a nautilus window open. I do use
Variety, a memory-hungry wallpaper slide-show, but it only takes
60-100MB.
