a bunch of locked memory that looks funny


I don't get why a display manager is using 200 MB of locked memory in the first place.  Aren't these programs supposed to be lightweight?
Comment 1 Raymond Jennings 2013-11-24 06:56:39 UTC

1.4.0 is really old. Try the latest version. And if it's still there, you need to report it upstream
Comment 5 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-11-29 14:11:40 UTC
You did not answer my question. Does the new version fixes the problem?
Comment 6 Raymond Jennings 2013-11-29 15:04:20 UTC
Sorry! >_<

I thought this bug was no good anymore.

I'll check the latest version now if you'd rather I not wait for stabilization.

if the problem is present in the latest version then the stabilization will not fix anything for you
Comment 8 Raymond Jennings 2013-11-29 17:53:36 UTC
What I meant was that I will keyword it so I can install the latest version for testing, instead of waiting for stabilization before upgrading automatically.
