When doing nothing for an uncertain amount of time, gkrellm slowly starts occupying more and more memory, until X locks up completely. This only happens when the trayicons plugin is installed and used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gkrellm, with the trayicons plugin enabled 2. configure the trayicons plugin in such a way that it actually checks a file for changes 3. do nothing for several hours Actual Results: gkrellm started occupying more and more memory as time went by. Expected Results: occupy the normal reasonable amount of memory it usually occupies emerge info: Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.10 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Feb 20 2005, 05:23:33)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4 -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4 -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cjk crypt cups curl emboss encode esd font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 ithreads java jpeg ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mp3 mpeg ncurses nptl offensive oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png pthreads python qt quicktime readline scanner sdl spell ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb xml2 xv zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS ps aux, before killing gkrellm: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.0 1572 316 ?

which version of gkrellm are u using - plz test w/ the latest
no response for some weeks about versions.
can we close this? no reponse after 3 months :(
I'm so very sorry about my EXTREMELY delayed reply. I'm trying to help, and I realize behavior like this is very counterproductive, and I'd be a better help like this if I didn't post bugs at all. I just tried to reproduce this bug with gkrellm-2.2.9 and grkrellm-trayicons-1.02, and was unable too, so I guess it's either fixed now or my environment at that time was b0rked. Again, my apologies for not responding. It won't happen again.
