Title:
  Unity leaks memory even when desktop is idle, screen locked in 12.10

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  You can see the memory usage growing on my work computer over the
  weekend (not the spikes where I started using the machine, just the
  slow growth on Sat/Sun): http://imgur.com/DpDdO

  That's all compiz, it leaks about 100 MB a day, even idle with the
  screen locked. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit. That process will grow
  up to over 1.5 GB in a couple weeks and I'll have to reboot my machine
  just to reclaim memory. Normally I wouldn't care if apps leak some
  memory, but compiz is a core service, I haven't found a way to restart
  it without trashing my desktop.
