This *may* be an nvidia-specific problem, but the RSS of gnome-shell on my system grows without limit (over a couple of hours it's increased past 10G).

At the same time, gnome-shell appears to become progressively less responsive.

Restarting gnome-shell (via <Alt><F2> restart) drops shell RSS down to ~400MB and improves system responsiveness a bit.
