Hi All,

Since updating to KDE 4.7.3 on my FreeBSD 8-STABLE amd64 work desktop, 
plasma-desktop is suffering from a consistent a fairly bad memory leak.

After running for about 3 days, plasma-desktop grew to ~900MB of 
resident memory:



lstewart at lstewart> ps -l 26994
   UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI   VSZ   RSS MWCHAN STAT  TT       TIME COMMAND
  1001 26994     1   0  44  0 1248676 962372 ucond  S     11-  30:49.57 
plasma-desktop



Killing the process and starting it again manually starts it at ~80MB of 
resident memory:



lstewart at lstewart> ps -l 39171
   UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI   VSZ   RSS MWCHAN STAT  TT       TIME COMMAND
  1001 39171     1   0  44  0 352676 87944 ucond  S      7    0:02.90 
plasma-desktop



Is this a known issue that I missed seeing reports of? Any pointers on 
how to fix it?

Cheers,
Lawrence
