[Bug 1262700] [NEW] KWin major memory leak

[Falk Ahlendorf]

Public bug reported:

Afterthe upgrade from Kubuntu 13.04 to Kubuntu 13.10 I'm observing that
KWin is leaking about 40Mbyte/min while running OpenGL 3.x applications
like (wine, TF2, ...).

KWin only leaks memory while compositing is enabled and in the moment
the OpenGL 3 program is closed all the leaked memory is released with
it.

 * There is no memory leaked while compositing is disabled
 * Disabling the blurring effect reduces the memory leak, but it is still observable while running OpenGL 3 programs around 5MByte/min
 * OpenGL 1.x programs seem to have no effect on the amount of memory leaked. I tried it with glxgears and I didn't observe any memory leak.

I'm not sure but the bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327291 is
maybe related, but I observe the leaked memory only while running OpenGL
3 applications, moving windows, switching activities have no effect on
my system.
