            Bug ID: 337260
           Summary: kded4 leaks a lot of memory (unrelated to powerdevil)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.13.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: timshel at rocketmail.com

So with every recent KDE version, from the original one released with openSUSE
12.3 and 13.1, until the latest KDE release 4.13.2 I am always encountering a
huge memory leak in kded4.

It takes less then a week of runtime that the kded4 uses nearly 2 GB memory. So
I have to restart it regularly to prevent my pc from running out of RAM.

I tried to remove the powerdevil file as described in
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271934#c72 but it didn't help so I think
this issue is unrelated to theirs.

I have basically the same configuration at home on my laptop without this
issue. The only difference I can think of is that I am using NetworkManager on
my laptop so maybe not using it might trigger the issue.

I have also resetted the .kde4 directory but it didn't prevented the issue.

I have let run kded4 against valgrind for one day and installed most debuginfo
files. If you need any additional information let me know.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KDE
2. Let it run for some hours/days
3. Check the memory consumption of kded4
Actual Results:  
memory consumption of kded4 is growing fast

Expected Results:  
memory consumption of kded4 shouldn't increase much over time

I am using regular openSUSE 13.1 repositories
(http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/13.1/) but to get the latest
KDE version also the repository
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Current/openSUSE_13.1/  .
