nm-applet uses 1767Mb of RAM - some kind of joke?

Yes, that's 1767Mb VIRT, 400Mb resident.

Unless I have half a million wireless networks in range, that's unreasonable, even for gnome.

Needless to say, I haven't. I'm up a hill, some way from civilization, and we have three networks.

That's 133Mb of RAM each, or over half a gig of virtsize per base station.

I can't count that high.

I can run a JVM in less than half a gig!

Just not nm-applet.

yeah

bug still present

if you ain't fixed it, it's still there

I'm running the latest version; there are no updates offered by apt-get; that's how I define the latest version. If you have a version you haven't shipped to apt-get, I can't help.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
