I (finally) managed to find one of the sources for this problem. It
looks like our "sotware-center.css" file causes some css that has a
memory leak to be drawn.
To reproduce:
- open a tool like htop and sort by memory usage
- run software-center and scroll around the lobby
- watch the htop RES column for software-center increase just from scrolling
Note that this does not increase any python visible object count, just the RES
data.
When the software-center.css is disabled this stops leaking memory.
I will try to build a stock Gtk test case next.
