[Q-collective <725435@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm the bug in a fully updated instance of a 15.04 install
(currently hogging 2GB out of 8GB of memory). As a workaround I just end
the process, so it restarts with no memory usage. But this needs to be
done every now and then, typically every day or so.

If logs are required, please ask. I'm not sure where notify-osd outut is
logged, if at all.

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*
