Greetings.

I have had at least two folks report that they are seeing very bad memory leaks from xfdesktop and xfce4-menu-plugin using 4.4.2 in Fedora 8.

See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428662

for more info on what they are seeing.

I also see a Ubuntu bug that looks very similar:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/77702

Note that at least the Fedora reporters do not have 'start kde/gnome' on login, or are switching backgrounds regularly. Also note that I (and many other Xfce users) do not see this behavior here.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to an Xfce desktop
2. Wait

Actual Results:
xfdesktop and xfce4-menu-plugin grow to take more and more memory.

Expected Results:
Memory usage should stay pretty constant
