Until this is fixed, I duct-taped around by adding this line to cron: */5 * * * * /home/conrad/kill_clock_applet_leak.sh Script: #!/bin/bash memused="`ps auxwww|grep clock-ap[p]let | awk '{ print $6 }'`" if [[ $memused -gt 250000 ]]; then memhuman="$((memused/1024))" echo "Clock-applet using $memhuman MB, killing panel" pkill gnome-panel fi It's ugly and dumb, but should prevent run-away stupidity...
