Dear Maintainer,

I have been using MATE on openSUSE 13.2 and ran in to an issue where mate-
settings-daemon would eat ram until death of computer. I got 8gb ram so noticed
at about 6-7gb eaten. Well that led me to Google and these 2 links spell out
problem:

https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-
daemon/issues/44#issuecomment-61430431

http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=198&t=159793

including links to Redhat (with Poettering and Clem from Mint chatting if I
remember correctly) and Debain bugtracker - and Mint forum. Mint people think
removing systemd is the fix :)

Well I then went to use Ubuntu MATE for 1 week. Guess what, zero issues. Ubuntu
14.04 LTS does not use a lot of systemd. Probaly why, I suspect Mint forum
might be correct but not acceptable fix - and it will probably blow up other
things. But because Ubuntu being Ubuntu I changed again. Now Debian Jessie with MATE. Worked much better except I now see bug again. Think it might be because
I used the plugin for Caja allowing to fire files as root.

My xsession-errors fill up, 500+MB with

(caja:2450): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create file
'/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.

So same OLD story. I am mainly reporting this to say it is still there. Has
nothing new to add.

Is impossible to miss bug when is show itself, when swapping kicks in because
ram is gone you notice, but possible not that many run in to it. Depends on how each compute of course. Is nasty so I hope it is acknowledged and being worked
on.

Thanks for reporting this. I need to check on this. There were several upstream commit on various MATE components fixing memory leaks, recently. I will ask the upstream author of those patches what he thinks about pushing them into Debian jessie.

Mike
