[Bug 89884] Giant memory leak

[Dustin Spicuzza]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim

Gaim 2.0.0beta6 on Feisty has an apparent huge memory leak. After
leaving it on overnight, memory usage according to the system monitor
has grown to 447.3MB. It was running on my desktop behind gnome-
screensaver.  One buddy window was open (AIM), and the icon was an
animated one. Additionally, I am using it for both AIM and MSN
messenger, and in the morning there was a new email waiting. It is not
really using any processor time at all. Additionally, some non-standard
features of my system:

- xinerama, 3 monitors running on 2 NVidia cards
- I use KDE kicker in the gnome environment for because its support for being positioned on the side of the screen is better
