if I launch gdm and let it run, my mem usage starts to creep up something fierce. 512 megs and over three days of just being a nat relay, my machine is beginning to use swap space.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any fixes mentioned anywhere?
Which version are you running? I believe that there isn't a stable release yet so trying a different version may work.
I have had problems with GDM in the past although not memory leaks. If this is a bug then you should report it to the GDM Project which I think has changed names but I'm not sure?
well, I'm running Enlightment on top of Gnome, and I don't have any kind of memory leak.
You guys should test your memory to see where it is indeed leaking, check it with one of these really cool programs!
