That doesn't show a memory leak.
Indeed, but we're talking about 3GB of memory here, which seems hard to
justify for such an application.

More than 1GB also sounds excessive, so you seem to be suffering from
the same problem.
Of course, maybe this is not a problem, it is just an artifact of
gnome-shell sharing a lot of memory with other applications, so it's not
actually eating up all your RAM. But this explanation seems unlikely.
I think it deserves a bug report.

I just search for gnome3 and memory leaks and found there were some of
them fixed in latest 3.6 too. Didn't have time and energy search for
more information.
One for all:

This probably help somebody of you who do not shutdown desktop/laptop
every time.
It consumed all my RAM and swap...
