Comment 9 David Edmundson 2018-10-01 22:47:07 UTC
There's still no useful info that I can do anything with.

If you claim there's a memory leak, please post a valgrind log.
Comment 10 darwin te 2018-10-01 23:10:52 UTC
How to start valgrind and stop valgrind on plasmashell?  I have used valgrind before and is familiar with the process.  But plasmashell has no debug symbols. Thanks.
