xfce4-menu-plugin will consume more memory (around 7MB) every time
"Show Symbols in Menu" in its configuration dialog is unchecked
or checked.
Removing the plugin from the panel will free memory immediately.


This is Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373010

I did see the other bugs but this looks like a specific cause and effect so I thought this should be separate.

Hmm, I tried this.  The first time I unchecked the box, memory usage went up about 700kB, which is odd.  But subsequent times, there was no change in memory usage.

librsvg version?
Comment 3 huggie 2006-08-15 08:07:42 CEST
I think it will have been 2.14.3 at that time.

Hmm, a couple changes between .3 and .4 that seem like they might have to do with memleaks...

        * rsvg-text.[ch]: pass the lenght to rsvg_make_valid_utf8.
        * rsvg-base.c: avoid some strdups and avoid a leak in the !utf8
        case of rsvg_characters(). Bug 340471.

... and...

        * rsvg-gobject.c: Only initialize the SAX handler once (on class init)
        rather than at object-init

Not really conclusive though; I don't see how the first one could account for anything more than a really tiny memleak, and the second one would only fix a memleak by coincidence, if at all.  Disabling SVG so the menu falls back to PNG might be illuminating...

Any news on this one?
