I can confirm this is still an issue. I just noticed gnome-panel was using an incredible 498MiB! I killed it and it restarted with just 11MiB although within a few minutes it went to 12MiB. I haven't switched my gnome theme for years and when I do it doesn't seem to increase the memory usage of gnome-panel at all. I will try to keep an eye on it to see if I can figure out what triggers the high memory usage.
