X and Fluxbox :: Still memory leak XVesa in V2.0?



Quote (clivesay @ Dec. 08 2005,13:22)
So this is really a fluxbox issue?

Technically, it seems to be an old fluxbox issue... I can't detect (after a long time) any such leaks in fluxbox-0.9.x
Some experimentation is recommended.

Does turning off the dockapps (dsl noicons) help?

How about tweaking some of the fluxbox settings?
Here is some output from the "watchdog" line that roberts posted.

Just hit the desktop, and opened 3 shells .
1. top
2. watch -n 60 pmap 454 | grep -w total ( xvesa )
3. watch -n 60 pmap 458 | grep -w total ( fluxbox )

Everything was fine for about 30 min, then the numbers began to change.

Fluxbox stayed at 3536k the entire time..

Xvesa shows me this..  ignore the last ones, as I was posting this.

Yes, but run the same test using jwm instead of fluxbox and xvesa does not grow. It must be a ghost user who prefers fluxbox :laugh:
Interesting that it stayed stable for so long, then changed..

I will continue to test various options..

"No Icons" , etc. did not change a thing for me so far.

Anyone tried mik's new fluxbox with the watch running ?
( I just saw a post above about it.. will test that as well )
