Version: 3.0 (using KDE 4.0.3) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: GCC 4.1.2 Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-4.1.2/configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib Thread model: posix OS: Linux I've just installed KDE 4.0.4 and system suddenly hung up. After restart I tried to find the problem and noticed that KWin eats memory. It's not so fast, about 0.3 MB per second. Also it eats only in some special conditions, because I left my system on last night with KDE running and there was no problem. I guess it's gtk+ applications that started it to leak. For example, now KWin weighs about 300 MB in the RAM and it's still growing.
Same here. The bug doesn't exist in KDE 4.0.3 Maybe something related to nVidia driver.... Also the bug only appear when using 'Desktop Effects'
Same problem here on kubuntu hardy
Yeah, exact. nVidia + effects. I also noticed that leakage speed depends on number of windows opened. When you open one more window it's getting faster, but I'm not sure, it reduces when you close a window.
I was managed to get crash report while logging out of KDE. Perhaps it's connected to leakage so I will attach it here.
Created attachment 24693 [details] KWin exit crash report
Leak already fixed post-4.0.4.
Oh, thanks, so then I stop here ;)
Ok, it's time to stop, but I'd like to add that kwin also leaks with an Intel card. I did not try the fixed trunk version. I just hope the fix is not hardware dependant.
The fix isn't hardware dependent -- it happens every time the stacking order is computed (when the list of windows is generated), and this happens every time compositing occurs.
Re: comment #6, patch, svn revision? distros (ahem) may be interested in this before kde-4.0.5 is released.
