netspeed_applet continuously leaks small amounts of memory. If left over a week, it grows into a 200-400 Meg beast. Growth seems to be close to linear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add netspeed_applet to the gnome toolbar (or whatever that thing is called) 2. Use net for a while 3. Look at top, sort by memory 4. Observe existence of netspeed_applet in top 3 positions. Actual Results: netspeed_applet continues to accrue DRAM real estate Expected Results: netspeed_applet is a non-issue wrt memory as it doesn't do anything that should accumulate it Running ~x86. This has been happening for a long time (over a year). It does not happen on Ubuntu.

Created attachment 158839 [details] Valgrind output from running for a few minutes I ran this under valgrind for a while, and it appears that there are a few definite leaks and some possible leaks. Guessing this needs to be resolved upstream.
Thanks. Now reported on bugs.gnome.org: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542040
upstream is needinfo, please get back to us (and reopen) when upstream found something.
