Version: 3.0.4 (using KDE KDE 1.2) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc-2.95.3 OS: LinuxLinux There is a memory leak in the kicker. After several days of running KDE even in locked mode (running klock) kicker occupies 100 Mb of memory and more (X driver does not support dri for my video card, so this is real memory). I run some applets: desktop switch, taskbar, kweather, LCD digital clock. This bug was reported several times and marked as closed but still (kde-3.0.4) is present. The leak was introduced somewhere in the kde-2.2.x branch. I hope this bug will be fixed.
Can you run without kweather for several days and see if it still happens?

As the memory leak is surely not in the minipager, the taskbar nor the clock, I'd say you need to run kweather in appletproxy to make sure it's not kweather. Greetings, Stephan
I used to run kicker without kweather for a long time and the memory leak was seen. You can also search for words "kicker memory leak" on bugzilla. There are several reports on this bug. Andrey V. Panov
The leak apparently exists in KDE 3.1. My computer was locked for 3 days and kicker memory consumption growed from 10 Mb to 38 Mb.
the memory leaks have been identified and removed in both KDE 3.1 and the upcoming 3.2 ... they were related to QToolTip handling.
