Each time the background changes the memory usage of kdesktop grows up. This is reproduceable on my system. Ive top'ed my system to visualize the process: When kdesktop has initially started: 17376 xxx 15 0 31539 17m 14m S 1.4 2.2 0:01.07 kdesktop After 20 min: 17376 xxx 15 0 66312 52m 14m S 0.8 6.7 0:23.21 kdesktop After 1 hour: (kdesktop eates more than 12% of my total system memory - 768M) 17376 xxx 15 0 113m 94m 14m S 0.0 12.5 1:17.26 kdesktop The Memory usage is greater than 1 GB after one day running kdesktop.

In 98597 Xs Memory Usage is growing. In this Bug, kdesktop is growing. 399722 3 p0 2005-12-18 23:18:02 +0000 reopened 405495 4 fpylin 2006-01-12 14:41:19 +0000 Confirmed with KDE 3.5 on Slackware 10.2. kdesktop consumes about 400M memory, using 1 minute multiple background, in around 6 hours. "killall kdesktop" reclaims the lost memory immediately. I will post memory data when I collect some. 406208 5 fpylin 2006-01-15 01:00:15 +0000 After four hours: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 28223 frank 16 0 313m 286m 10m S 0.0 28.4 3:42.05 kdesktop Restarted: 32250 frank 15 0 43708 25m 10m S 0.0 2.6 0:04.56 kdesktop 437263 6 runge 2006-05-08 13:20:33 +0000 Same here with two Gentoo installations. One is KDE 3.4.1 and proprietary ATI driver, the other is 3.5.2 with proprietary nvidia driver. No problems when I set the background to plain color. Havn't tried a single wallpaper yet. As soon as I use multiple wallpapers on any system kdesktop starts eating memory. Normally around 100MB per day. I reported this on bugs.gentoo.org, but they told me this had to be an upstream issue. Regards, Alex!!! 462691 7 ebachmann 2006-08-23 16:56:06 +0000 I have the same issue, but am not using the multiple (slideshow) backgrounds. Instead I have a lots of different (svg & png) backgrounds on all screens (xinerama dual-head setup), all scaled to fit the screen size. I suspect in my case the memory leaks whenever the resoltion is changed using the xrandr extension, e.g. when a game switches the second monitor off to run fullscreen. KDE version is 3.5.4, QT 3.3.6, xorg-x11 7.0.0, nvidia drivers. /Ernst 470417 8 info 2006-09-16 21:28:36 +0000 Is everyone with this problem using SVG wallpapers?
