Description reiagaru 2024-11-09 00:16:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
kwin_wayland process is leaking memory(observed up to 1.2G) when interacting with second monitor, after it has been turned off by inactive timeout. Every action on 2nd monitor takes more memory, dragging window, opening new one, selecting with mouse, etc... Observed on a laptop with dual gpu(integrated amd, nvidia 1650TI Moblie), seems to only happen on wayland, and when using integrated gpu, after setting KWIN_DRM_DEVICES to prefer nvidia memory usage stabilized. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Wait for monitor timeout
2. Interact with desktop and wait for monitor to turn on

OBSERVED RESULT
kwin_wayland uses more memory after every interaction with the desktop

EXPECTED RESULT
kwin_wayland should use ~300mb
