hamster-applet process gets very big and applet becomes unresponsive

[rlgomes]

Binary package hint: hamster-applet

I am working on a timetracker python utility that can be used to automatically track your tasks based on the window title of the window that is currently focused (works on gnome and kde right now). The problem is that the I end up inserting some 700+ window changes as small less than a minute activities into the hamster-service using the hamster-cli and after a few hours the python process gets to be several hundred MB in size and starts choking up the applet. I believe the issue is that the list of activities shown keeps growing instead of only showing the last 100 tasks and because of that it will expand till something breaks.
