Memory leak in compiz

[Ramil Minnigaliev]

I use my PC without reboot for some days and see memory leak in compiz. Recently I came back from holiday and saw that compiz use 35% of RAM (8 GB total and 2.7 GB compiz) after 22 days of uptime and no active apps.

Not cool when the system is acting in this way.
