When turning off/disconnecting/switching KVM to other machine memory usage of xfdesktop grows like crazy. There is already a patch available in bleow link/bug report, can we have this already ported to portage tree as well ? https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16314 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.disconnect monitor 2.reconnect monitor 3. Actual Results: depending on background image size memory is growing every time. up to several GB !! Expected Results: no memeory leak free up unused memory
Sorry, oversaw the possibility to add the specific patch as user patch under /etc/portage/patch.... with that option xfdesktop is build after applying the patch, did not verify yet, since I'm not at home now, but this would definitely be an option. But having a new subrelease and just updating to 14.2-r1 or so would be a lot easier .... regards
the patch definitely fixes the issue (this is what I expected anyhow). Would be great if this upstream already fixed issue would be ported to gentoo as well.
