Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager

I think I've encountered a bad memory leak in gnome-cups-icon. Basically, ps gives me:
% ps aux | grep cups-icon
jm 27444 0.2 7.6 217880 79300 ? Ss Jun07 64:34 gnome-cups-icon --sm-config-prefix /gnome-cups-icon-ZEJuRy/ --sm-client-id 1030a3bec8000113263335000000077200005 --screen 0

To make sure it's not just shared (virtual) mem, I tried killing it and seeing the impact of free (real) memory:

% free
             total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1036000 805184 230816 0 3104 87528
-/+ buffers/cache: 714552 321448
Swap: 1023992 977464 46528

% killall gnome-cups-icon

% free
             total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1036000 722640 313360 0 3392 91068
-/+ buffers/cache: 628180 407820
Swap: 1023992 890556 133436

This means that gnome-cups-icon was really using about 160 MB of memory, which it totally unacceptable even if it's not a leak.
