Bug Description

Ubuntu 13.04
xfce4-indicator-plugin:
  Installed: 0.5.0-1ubuntu2

I have just observed the xfce4-indicator-plugin process consuming just over 1068Mb of RSS memory on a desktop with 9 day uptime. During this time I've had in there all the usual XFCE4 icons + skype, gPodder, Transmussion, Dropbox, Wine and native versions of Steam and also had some network problems that caused me to swich around between different network configuratiosn and change (add/delete/edit) network configurations.

I had to stop the computer, unfortunately and after restarting all software and icons, the RSS usage was normal at 13 Mb.

Please let me know what information would be most useful for debugging if I manage to reproduce the problem.

Not sure if that is relevant to the cause, but from yesterday the RSS of the process rose from 13 Mb to 18 Mb. After using the network manager indicator to dicsonnect from the network and reconnect a couple of times the memory use grew to 21 Mb.
