Bug Description
im using variety program to render clock, date etc. onto my wallpaper and then variety change wallpaper every minute - so i have live clock on it
variety changes wallpaper using these commands:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/
where $WP is path to the wallpaper
after 24 hours or so xfdesktop uses 1gb of memory or so - after 2-3 days it can grow to 2,5 gb - after i kill the process it restarts automatically with fresh memory but still keeps growing.
with variety turned off after 24hours xfdesktop is still 22mb (same as it was just started) - so it for sure is leaking when changing wallpaper
im using ubuntu 14.04 x86-64bit with xfce installed (versions from main ubuntu repos - dont use any ppas for that)
-------
