Public bug reported:
When using the computer on a wifi network with weak connectivity or much
noise, disconnects and reconnects happen from time to time and nm-applet
consumes more and more memory without ever releasing it. After several
hours, nm-applet consumes 1.1GiB (virtual memory 2.3GiB, shared
53.8MiB). Contrary to common claim, this is not free memory turned
useful until other applications need it, instead it is not released and
forces the computer to get out of RAM and freeze for minutes.
Workaround: pkill nm-applet; nm-applet & disown
