It doesn't seem like the update fixes the problem for me. I enabled lucid-proposed in the update manager, updated my machine, and rebooted it. I logged in and gnome-power-manager was using:

01456000-0155f000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
Size: 1060 kB
Rss: 1056 kB

I waited 2 hours (without doing anything on the machine) and found:

01456000-01a69000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
Size: 6220 kB

I can continue to let it run and report back if it is useful.

I do not see the rapid memory usage that Christian describes in comment #19. However, I do not have a battery icon displaying on the panel. I can try enabling it to see if I can reproduce the rapid memory usage if it would be helpful.
