Public bug reported:
Right-clicking on the desktop, then clicking Change Background, and then
Desktop uses 2GB RAM and 20% of my Core i5-3320M. System Monitor 3.28
(on Ubuntu 18.04) didn't do this. I have a lot of pictures in my
Pictures folder which is why this happens (but didn't happen with 3.28,
I don't think!).
I get errors like the below come up in the journal when it happens. If
you need any more info to debug this then let me know! :)
