Ok, I quit Kupfer, I quit Dropbox, I killed Nautilus, then re-opened it;
of course the desktop re-painted.

I'm using Gnome-System-Monitor to watch. I'm watching the "Processes"
tab.

Nautilus started out eating ~ 26M of RAM at first. I have opened no file
explorers, done nothing other than have the desktop open.

After about 5 minutes, it's up to 55.3 MiB. If you watch, it adds about
0.1 MiB per second... it just keeps creeping up.

Interestingly, if I open an "explorer" window, it jumps up a bit (of
course) and when the window is closed it doesn't release that memory...
but the creeping-up seems to stop.

So this is all very anecdotal. What else can I provide?
