As a temporary workaround, I've been running this script in background
which kills indicator-session-service when it hits 500M of rss:

#!/bin/sh
while sleep 1; do
    rss=$(ps -C indicator-session-service -o rss=)
    if [ -n "$rss" ] && [ "$rss" -gt 500000 ]; then
        pkill -f indicator-session-service -u hyperair && \
            echo "[$(date)] killed at $rss"
    fi
done

Title:
  indicator-session is leaking memory on ubuntu 15.10

Status in indicator-session package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The `indicator-session-service` is slowly leaking memory, after a
  while it has used up over 10 gigabytes of RAM and swap and the entire
  system freezes.

  I've reinstalled the entire OS, and even started using a new home
  folder, but it's still happening.
