            Bug ID: 306206
          Severity: minor
           Version: 4.8
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: kded4 memory leak
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: pmb at fa2k.net
          Hardware: Fedora RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

kded4 memory usage slowly increases. 

It has been killed once by the out of memory killer, then the system tray icons
were no longer hidden, and the Sleep and Hibernate options were no longer in
the system menu. Logging out and back in restored everything to its normal
state.

I am a heavy user of the "Sleep" function, and this bug could be related to a
problem with Sleep. A few times there is no password prompt when waking up from
Sleep mode.

After 3 days it uses 1.1 GB. From "ps auxww":

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leave a session running for a long time
2. Maybe: use the Sleep (suspend to RAM) function
Actual Results:  
kded4 memory use slowly increases in small increments. Appears to be correlated
with opening new windows.


Work-around: Log out and back in again
