memory leak ubuntu 16.04

[miccs]

process nautilus which is ran automatically by system on startup using command "nautilus -n" grows big in memory.
normally after startup it is about 100 mb in ram - after few days it can get to over 1gb
ive ran it with valgrind - after startup it was above 200mb and after 2-3 days it grew to 1.6 gb

the command using which i ran valgrind is:
"G_DEBUG=resident-modules valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=20 --log-file=/media/data/nautilus_valgrindlog.log nautilus -n"

system: ubuntu 16.04 x86-64

not sure why it leaks, maybe it has something to do with the program that i use - i mean "variety" it changed desktop wallpaper several times a day. (maybe nautilus somehow grows because of it? no idea but im not using other fancy things here - just doing dev work on ubuntu.

im attaching valgrind log.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

this bug makes debugging my c codes with valgrind harder
