Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Several times since my upgrade to Gutsy, my laptop has become extraordinarily unresponsive, and it has become evident that gnome-power-manager is using all of my system's available memory.

It will increase usage until none is left and the OOM killer tries to take over, but this takes several minutes and is unacceptable.

Same issue here with gnome-power- manager, except I noticed it out of control before it really sucked me dry.
I had to force-kill it using kill -9.

I can't provide memory usage info about it at the moment but will watch for it to happen again and will report more.
