Comment 51 for bug 684599

I have the same problem of steadily increasing memory usage (about 100MB increase per day) by nm-applet on my desktop system that has two ethernet NICs and no wireless, a TAP device created by OpenVPN and a vboxnet device for VirtualBox. Both ethernet NICs are listed in /etc/network/interfaces so they don't need to be managed. I am not getting messages related to nm-applet or any other network-related messages in ~/.xsession-errors however. I am using version 0.8.1+git.20100809t190028.290dc70-0ubuntu3 which I thought was the official version of the package for maverick. I could downgrade to another version if I knew which one to try.
