Title:
  notify-osd a memory hog (memory leak?)

Status in notify-osd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  Noticed this today on my lucid box in top:
  2647 myaccount  20   0 1196m 595m 3528 S    0 29.7   1:09.68 notify-osd

  I don't think a simple notifcation daemon should suck up more than a
  Gig of memory of which half is real memory.  It's the first time I
  noticed this.  I don't have too much information at this point.

  $ dpkg -l notify-osd*
