[Bug 50854] gnome-cups-icon memory leak in Dapper

[jmspeex]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager

I think I've encountered a bad memory leak in gnome-cups-icon. Basically, ps gives me:
% ps aux | grep cups-icon
jm       27444  0.2  7.6 217880 79300 ?        Ss   Jun07  64:34 gnome-cups-icon --sm-config-prefix /gnome-cups-icon-ZEJuRy/ --sm-client-id 1030a3bec8000113263335000000077200005 --screen 0

To make sure it's not just shared (virtual) mem, I tried killing it and
seeing the impact of free (real) memory:

% free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1036000     805184     230816          0       3104      87528
-/+ buffers/cache:     714552     321448
Swap:      1023992     977464      46528

% killall gnome-cups-icon

% free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1036000     722640     313360          0       3392      91068
-/+ buffers/cache:     628180     407820
Swap:      1023992     890556     133436

This means that gnome-cups-icon was really using  about 160 MB of
memory, which it totally unacceptable even if it's not a leak.
