Confirming in 18.04.1: `indicator-datetime-service` is allocating 3GB+
of memory (!), starting soon after startup

This started happening after I installed evolution and set it up to sync
with gmail using the evolution setup wizard.

I uninstalled evolution and the problem continued.

Although evolution was set up to use a Google Account, there was no
corresponding entry in "Online Accounts", which was empty. I manually
added and then removed my Google Account.  Problem persists.  Something,
somewhere still has reference to my Google Account, but I can't find it.

This is apparently a dupe of #1731838, #1652789, #1634059, and I think
#1633319 and #342123 and (most usefully) #1589605.

I have gone with this workaround:

Title:
  memory leak in indicator-datetime

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 on the System76 Serval WS
  indicator-datetime-service is consuming all the system memory from
  3.7GB up to 32 GB in 30 seconds. The system kills the indicator-
  datetime-service process and indicator-datetime-service restarts and
  memory consumption repeats until killed again. All swap memory is
  consumed in this pattern.
