Public bug reported: I've seen this twice in two months, so it rare.
Gnome panel sometimes uses a lot of memory, 3+ GB. Logging out and back in didn't help initially. After 10 minutes or so, gnome-panel was no longer using all this memory (it fixed itself). see bug 953997 --- ApportVersion: 2.4-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gnome-panel 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_CA:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-9.9-generic 3.5.0 Tags: quantal third-party-packages Uname: Linux 3.5.0-9-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-06-18 (62 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout libvirtd lp lpadmin plugdev sambashare ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-collected quantal third-party-packages ** Tags added: apport-collected quantal third-party-packages ** Description changed: I've seen this twice in two months, so it rare.
