Comment 23 for bug 1470235

This happened to me, too. I installed Multi-Core System Monitor for just a moment and noticed the steadily growing memory usage. Worse, removing the applet did not stop the leak. The leak didn't stop until the next system reboot (presumably restarting polkitd would have also worked, but I didn't try it since I wasn't sure how safe it was).

But since there's no way to know if this was the trigger for the original bug report or earlier commenters, perhaps the MCSM case should be opened as a separate, specific bug against policykit?
