After upgrading to 4.6.5 on Fedora 15 I see that the kwin process is
my largest memory-hog - 323M so far. I saw this right after
upgrading and figured it was the Desktop Effects. I disabled them,
and still see kwin at the top of my Ctrl-Esc System Activity list,
above VMWare and Firefox. For a window manager?
I'm away from my desktop, so I cannot check now. According to mys logs,
kwin uses about 40M. But it has a memory leak, after some days the
typical usage is 600M, and it goes even higher - the record is 1.4G. I
also notice strange effects when the memory usage gehts high, like
disappearing or distorted window title bars. It's time to log out and in
again then.
This still happens with 4.7.3 on Gentoo Linux.
I came across this:
kwin --replace&
It tells kwin to replace itself with itself. Works for me, the screen
refreshes and panels reload and a couple apps were un-minimized but memory
dropped instantly and it's a lot easier than logging out and in.
When I did this, it went all wonky. I went from 8 desktops to one and
all my apps went to the one desktop. Other than all that, it worked
fine. LOL
Now to logout and back in again to fix all this. :/
