Public bug reported: In roughly 24 hours, unity-panel-service ended up with the following memory usage:
PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 30853 robin 20 0 4283M 2832M 16580 S 0.0 36.0 3h19:17 unity-panel-service it also starts to "forget" some icons, and until something makes them refresh, they get a "missing icon" symbol instead. The programs that have an icon in my panel typically are: owncloud sync client, blueman-applet, telegram, slack, google play music desktop player, nm-applet, keyboard switcher, the regular bluetooth controls, messaging, battery, sound, clock, and the gear thing for settings. If I manually kill it, it doesn't auto-restart. When I restart it manually, it regularly fills the terminal with the message: (unity-panel-service:30853): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Sync failed, now we've got extra layout nodes. This didn't occur in Ubuntu 16.04.
