kicker's memory usage slowly increases over time, eventually requiring a dcop kicker kicker restart to prevent it continually swapping. has been doing this since 3.3, currently running kde-base/kicker-3.5.3-r1 loaded applets: k-menu button numerous launchers system monitor kcpufreq task list system tray lock/logout buttons kweather moon phase indicator kworldclock math evaluator thingy mixer kbinaryclock ksim
Same problem with 3.5.4-r1? If so, please remove the applets and readd and test them one by one to find offending one.
I can't reproduce with latest KDE. If you can find the source of the memory leak with a current kicker, please reopen.
