[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#487234: xfce4-mixer: Consumes excessive memory if left running

[Wookey]

Package: xfce4-mixer
Version: 4.4.2-3
Severity: normal

I left xfce4-mixer running for several days (probably 9 as that's how
long the machine has been up). I killed it when I noticed that htop
was reporting it using 23% of the meory on a 2GB machine.

Restarting it, it uses a rather more reasonable 0.6% memory. I'll
leave it open again and see if the usage creeps up.

<wait 2 days> yes - it's now using 10% of my memory.

Lokos like somethina has a memory leak.
