indicator-applet-complete memory usage grows each time any applet icon
is updated. Animated icons speed this process up a lot.

Title:
  indicator-applet uses extremely large amounts of memory

Status in “indicator-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-applet

  Probably a duplicate of #369539, but creating a new bug at Sebastien
  Bacher's direction.

  Indicator-applet appears to have a memory leak. I upgraded to Lucid
  the day it was released, before that running a clean if somewhat old
  install of Karmic. In Karmic I did not experience the issue. Under
  normal usage, the indicator-applet process uses more and more memory
  until eventually things start dying from the OOM killer. To combat
  this, I have been watching the system monitor applet's memory usage
  graph until it reaches a high level, checking with top to find
  indicator-applet at the top of the memory usage stack (currently using
  882m virt, 617m res 11m shr) and then kill the pid from the command
  line. I have to do this twice a day.

  Expected behavior:

  indicator-applet sits next to my clock and doesn't cause problems.

  Actual behavior:

  indicator-applet uses more and more memory over time until the system
  becomes unstable.
