[Bug 1546829] Re: Nautilus Memory Leak (14.04 Trusty Tahr)

 

** Description changed:

  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.
