emerge --info =lxqt-base/lxqt-session-0.11.0

After running for 10 days, lxqt-session managed to allocate itself 28GiB of RAM and 119GiB of swap. This is pretty bizarre and unexpected. I managed to get into tty1 and tried to shut down xdm service. Even though tty7 has become devoid of an X server running, the lxqt-session task was still hanging. Harassing it with SIGTERM turned it into a zombie process and only SIGKILL did the trick.

This isn't funny. I'm considering switching to EDE.

Since the last comment lxqt-session did it again. This is a rather short period of time to eat 30GB of RAM.

Thanks for the report!

If possible, please re-test using 0.13.0.

I also experienced this bug.

Any word on lxqt 13 stabilization?

Annnnd 13 was stabilized today. So never mind my question.

Closing due to inactivity and “oldness”.
