I'm also hit by that bug=2E I do not use gnome though, and the =2Egnome-se=
ssion-real process is owned by gdm=2E Ram usage is at around 200MB when sta=
rting and after a few days (putting the laptop to sleep during the night), =
it got to 2=2E4GB, even though I don't really need or use it beside logging=
 in=2E After another restart, it was at 600MB after a day=2E That memory us=
age is ridiculous :/
