Hernando Torque (htorque) wrote : unity-panel-service memory leak with Kile

Opening the LaTeX editor Kile causes u-p-s to use ~10MB more with each program start, e.g. after opening and closing Kile ten times, "ps aux" showed u-p-s going from 23MB to 119MB memory usage (resident).

Attaching a valgrind log of unity-panel-service containing ten starts of Kile:

==8130== LEAK SUMMARY:
==8130== definitely lost: 45,015 bytes in 508 blocks
==8130== indirectly lost: 203,173 bytes in 5,553 blocks
==8130== possibly lost: 23,453 bytes in 450 blocks
==8130== still reachable: 28,961,416 bytes in 525,544 blocks

I'm currently running Unity from trunk (r1455) but this also happens with Unity from Oneiric.
