Description George 2006-09-27 06:23:21 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

This started recently (last month or so). i am using the suspend feature of the kernel, and i find that every 3-4 days i'm unable to suspend due to lack of swap space.
I've traced it to kdesktop, see the relevant numbers:
             total       used       free    

-/+ buffers/cache:     135384     112340
Swap:       533812     309548     224264
after killing kdesktop and re-starting it:

   total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

-/+ buffers/cache:      94244     153480
Swap:       533812      57688     476124
I am using a program that does lots of resolution changes, perhaps that may have a influence, other than that i'm clueless.
(KDE: 3.5.4-0.3.fc5 )

Are you using SVG wallpapers by any chance? I've fixed a number of memory leaks in KDesktop for the upcoming KDE 3.5.5, an SVG related one being the most prominent.

Using "Andes Venezolanos" wallpaper on all (2) desktops. 
Position: Scaled
Colors: Single Blend
Blending: No Blending

It seems that "Andes Venezolanos" Wallpaper is indeed svg, hmmm, gotta change it then.
I'll close this bug as it's fixed in newer kde's.
