Using latest KDE available. Using plasmashell 5.12.4 Smells like Bug 368838. Do you use a slideshow for your wallpaper or in a media frame widget? Do you notice it happening when you move through the categories of the Application Launcher or Application Menu? No slide show, desktop is not set to folder mode rather to desktop mode displaying a single non animated image. Just one image, no image rotation is set. Thanks for the info. It would be helpful if you can do a bit of sleuthing and try to find a reproducible way to make the problem occur (or not occur!) I can easily make mem usage climb, I just don't now how to log or profile it. Let me know the tools and cli arguments, then I will start to reproduce it with profiling tools running. I'll let one of the more experienced Plasma developers chime in with that information. Im experiencing irreversible memory climbs with KDE with every session. Many times needlessly going to 4-5gb Its likely due to the fact Im using about 10 desktop widgets. But I have no way to collect meaningful data untill someone shows me how. I am confirming this because after leaving KDE idling for a few hours I returned home to see it taking more than 7 of the 8GB total ram I have and more than 1GB or swap, meaning it surpassed hardware ram limit. Please address this somehow. Created attachment 111882 [details]
Look at that usage
Unusable.
The status is for devs when we have all the information we need. Please include output of kquitapp5 plasmashell QSG_INFO=1 plasmashell marking as waiting for info Do do NOT know how to include required stuff. Please specify applicable commands/methods. In a terminal kquitapp5 plasmashell QSG_INFO=1 plasmashell paste output here Created attachment 111934 [details]
kquitapp5 plasmashell && QSG_INFO=1 && plasmashell
No programs were loaded at time of running suggested commands.
Memory usage was at about 3.8GB with no programs running, then I ran commands. Created attachment 111942 [details]

Created attachment 111796 [details] ps aux --sort -rss After about 1.5 hours of constant use of KDE I noticed plasmashell hogging great a great deal of ram. Let me know what I can do to further acquire data to help patch these memory leaks.
