Description Bernhard Beschow 2017-10-30 15:29:52 UTC 
When I enable the slideshow wallpaper in Plasma my computer becomes unusable (reaction to user input takes an awful lot time, UI basically freezes) and the harddisk is accessed excessively. When I manage to execute a "killall plasmashell", the system becomes usable again. To me this seems to be caused by a memory leak inside the plasmashell process.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable the wallpaper plugin
2. Set the update interval to 1 second
2. Wait...

Observed behavior:
The system doesn't react to user input any more, the HDD thrashes.

Expected behavior:
No matter how long plasma runs with the slideshow wallpaper plugin active, the system should always react to user input and the HDD shouldn't thrash. (Well, Plasma should actually just not be the reason for that ;) )

Which Qt?
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2017-11-15 20:47:10 UTC 
No response, assuming older than Qt 5.9.2.
