Comment 100 for bug 569273

I am seeing the same thing with Gnome-Power-Manager, Opera 11.01 and touchthesky 1.14 (a weather monitoring widget installed with Opera). All three slowly increase mem usage until all 6 gig on this machine are consumed. Ubuntu 10.04 64.
Usually can't stay up for more than 3 to 5 days without restarting those apps to get the memory back.

The interesting thing is that I have a very nearly identical machine (both desktops) in my office. same Intel Q6600 proc - similar but not identical Asus mbs 8 Gig on office machine. ATI graphics on home, Nvidia on office. Same wireless mouse & keyboard.

All the same major Apps installed on both machines - both machines kept updated - On the office machine power manager stays at a consistent 1.9 meg, Opera between 200 & 400 meg depending on how many tabs I leave open - Touchthesky also doesn't change the memory used with time.

If I can find the time I will generate a list of installed software for each & see if anything stands out.
