Title:
  [saucy] unity-panel-service memory leak?

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded to saucy (from raring) yesterday (x86, 32 bit). After the
  first log-in, the weather indicator was on the panel, and I've decided
  to quit from it, since it's unusable for me (always shows 18C, but not
  so important and not the scope of this issue). It exited, but it seems
  it was relaunched all the time I wanted to exit via the menu of the
  indicator applet. At the end I was in the mood to kill the process
  from a terminal window, but still, it was relaunched. So I removed the
  package since it was annoying anyway and I didn't want to use it.
  Finally it was not relaunched again (of course).  According to
  .xsession-errors file:

  Warning: Only changing the first 12 of 10 buttons.
  Script for ibus started at run_im.
  Script for auto started at run_im.
  Script for default started at run_im.
  init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning
  init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning

  init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning
  init: Failed to spawn indicator-weather main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
  init: unity-panel-service main process ended, respawning

  I am unsure this was the reason or not, but I mentioned because it can
  be a related issue or so.

  After some hours of work, the desktop felt more and more slower with
  aggressive swapping. According to top (sorted by memory usage) unity-
  panel-service was at the top with 40% of memory usage!

  I had to kill unity-panel-service (it was re-spawned after all) to
  restore my system into a usable state again. Currently I am waiting
  for the problem to show up again to append this report, but not so
  much till now. I am not sure about the connection between these
  issues, or related at all.
