Bug Description

After about 24 hours, `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity/unity-panel-service` consumes about 10 GB of RAM which always makes the PC unresponsive due to swapping if I forget to turn it off or kill `unity-panel-service`.

On console I see `(unity-panel-service:4934): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Sync failed, now we've got extra layout nodes.` about every 5 seconds.

Not a duplicate/revival of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/830287 since the testcase doesn't trigger increase of memory. Might be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/722972.
