Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4.3 OS: Linux There is a memory leak in kompmgr. After one day usage about 1.5 GB memory was used. See also: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2703 I changed the specified line to if (gone) recompiled and the memory leak is gone. The line is kompmgr.c:1918 Thank you
SVN commit 414884 by lunakl: Fix memory leak in kompmgr. BUG: 105757 M +138 -12 trunk/KDE/kdebase/kwin/kompmgr/kompmgr.c
Is this bug fixed in 3.5.0 from the above SVN commit 414884? This still happens in FC3 using KDE-Redhat RPMs of 3.5.0. Here's what I've witnessed. kompmgr, started fresh, takes about 15M of ram. I can play some games, browse the web, flip desktops, use mplayer, etc, and it stays around 15M, no problem. Then overnight it balloons to 270M. I don't have any screensaver, it's completely disabled. I have DPMS set to turn off the monitor. Not sure of my exact settings right now (at work), but I just have transparency on, no fading, not sure about shadows offhand. If there's more information to give, let me know what/how to provide it and I will. If this seems like a separate bug I file a new one.
Change not yet incorporated into Kubuntu (KDE Desktop apt package for Ubuntu).
This appears to *not* have been fixed as of KDE 3.5.3! The original change appears to be the correct fix.

I've fixed some more leaks and I cannot reproduce any more problems.
