"Assistive Technology" seems to play a large part in the problem.
Initially, I had it enabled, and observed 1MB leak (with the letter "g"). Then I disabled it ( opening System->Preferences->Accessibility->Assistive Technology Preferences then unchecking "Enable assistive technologies"), logged out, logged in again. Then, the same procedure only causes a 0.1MB leak. -- Memory leak in "Run Application" dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
