[Bug 1386856] [NEW] Sddm-helper huge memory usage

[mith]

Public bug reported:

After installation of Plasma 5, I've noticed, that sddm-helper uses a
lot of memory and that the usage is steadily growing all the time.
After few hours it can take more than half of my RAM (ie. 4-5 GB). I
reported this issue on SDDM github. It turned out that I'm not the only
one affected and that probably all people, who suffers from this bug are
also users of Kubuntu, so I'm starting this thread here, mostly to find
more people affected.

Here's the link to original discussion:

I'm also attaching screen confirming the bug.
