Title:
  Memory usage increases with repeatedly opening preferences window and
  loading/unloading plugins

Status in Do:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I'm using version 0.5.98 on Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64.

  When I start gnome-do with no plugins enabled the memory usage is
  ~23mb. Summoning gnome-do increases that to 26mb and it stays there
  regardless of how many times I summon it (without taking any action.)

  If I open the about window that goes up to 27.5mb and stays there if I
  repeat it. But when I open the preferences window the mem usage goes
  to 29mb, and repeatedly opening the preferences window increases the
  mem usage by 0.2-0.4 mb each time. In fact opening the preferences
  window increases the usage by an amount then closing it increases the
  usage once again. This way I brought the usage upto ~39mb.

  If I enable any plugin (i.e. Gnome terminal) the usage goes up as
  expected, but when I disable it the usage goes up again. It stays at
  that level when I repeat these. The usage should go down when I
  disable a plugin.

  Then I alternatively start the terminal and gedit using gnome-do, the
  usage stays around 39. Mono must have GC'ed at this point because the
  usage went down to 37 (but only to 37) perhaps collecting disabled
  plugins?

  There's some kind of memory leak somewhere. Either gnome-do is not
  releasing all references to certain bogus objects (old preference gui
  objects) so they're not getting GD'ed or Mono itself has a big
  problem, or the Mono's GC policy is way too lenient. Sure I have 4gigs
  of ram and 40 megs of usage is not a big deal. I just like the project
  a lot and I think these kinds of utilities should be super-slim and
  efficient. The usage going from 23 to 37 over 5 minutes (and staying
  there for 15 minutes) is not right. I know gnome-do stores a history
  but that doesn't explain the whole story here.

  Devs, please look into this. I can supply more info if needed.
