I am seeing unity-window-decorator memory usage grow in excess of 2GB physical and 5GB virtual. As a work around, I am periodically running \usr\bin\unity-window-decorator --replace to replace the running instance with a new instance. I generally don't search my files/folders but do browse places and leave the browse windows open for days or weeks at a time. I am using ubuntu 11.04 - natty and the ATI proprietary drivers (Driver Packaging Version 8.84.6-110324a-116088C-ATI - 2D Driver Version 8.84.60 - RandR Version 1.3 - OpenGL Provider ATI Technologies Inc. - OpenGL Renderer ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics - OpenGL Version 3.3.10665) with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics card - BIOS Date 2/12/08,02:39:27 Version 010.073.000.002.000000.
