[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#376177: Same problem here

[Christian Lambert]

I'm using Ubuntu dapper drake release and I'm seeing the same issue
with XFCE 4.3.90.

The only thing special I did is enabled gdesklets and the plugin for
gnome applets and I'm running deskbar applet inside xfce.  The rest is
standard configuration.    It has grown to almost 600MB each process in
about one night.
