Comment 17 for bug 583954

Hi. Mine does not get to aforementioned extremes, but it might if my uptimes get longer (which is inhibited by another issue) Well using "ibus-daemon --replace" is nice, although it leaves a zombie behind.
One could actually start or reissue "ibus-daemon --replace" in the limited shell. I use it for similar memory loving apps, like gnome-stardict
Say, start a terminal and execute

$ ulimit -v 307200 -m 20480 #or similar, where -m and -v are the actual memory virtual memories in kb, resp.
and then
$ ibus-daemon --replace

When the greedy python process gets to the maximum limit it exits and the applet is gone, one can then restart ibus-daemon from the same limited shell.

It turns out, that I don't really need that applet, so I am figuring how to dispense with it completely.
