For me, it is much slower. This is on a desktop that is attached to an APC UPS via the USB cable. There is no indicator in my panel (unless maybe if the power goes out and I start running on the UPS?). I last restarted gnome-power-manager on the 23rd and it is now using 132MB. Using the same command that Simon just posted, it looks like whatever this 4kB leak is, it is happening once every 20 seconds for me instead of every second.

Now I just unplugged the USB cable and not only did the memory leak stop but the process has actually started freeing memory! After a couple of minutes it has trimmed itself by 5MB (down to 127MB). I wasn't watching very closely at first but it seems like it dropped a couple of MB pretty quickly. Now I can still see it dropping a few KB here and there but it is pretty slow going.

I'm still running the stock code. I will try -proposed if I have some spare time.
