[12.3] kmix memory usage

English Applications
#1

Hi,

I run openSUSE 12.3 with current uptime:

00:39am  up 3 days  2:31,  4 users,  load average: 0.53, 0.60, 0.51

Kmix uses now a lot of memory, I think that there could be some memory leak:

PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
1750 fisiu     20   0  987m 234m 6096 S  0,0  6,1   3:02.87 kmix

kmix-4.10.0-1.2.1.x86_64, stock KDE SC from 12.3 OSS, linux 3.8.3-1-desktop.

Can You see similar kmix memory usage with Yours openSUSE?

It seems there is still valid bug report for kmix memory leak: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309464 and we’re affected.

As workaround start kmix with style other than oxygen.
I modified /usr/share/autostart/kmix_autostart.desktop to do it automatically with Plasma Desktop start:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=kmix --style qtcurve
DocPath=kmix/index.html
OnlyShowIn=KDE;
