Is nobody else using gnome-shell seeing ram figures like these?

Hmm I didn't see that, though I may be having some conky display issues - could be related perhaps. I'll reboot and watch carefully

My desktop was slightly mis-placed for just a second or so. No chance of a screenshot though - not long enough.
Approximately 90 minutes in to the new GS and ram usage seems much more stable now. Just one teeny crash so far. More of a hiccup than a crash really.

I recall there being something about gnome-screensaver causing huge spikes in ram usage, because it happened to me. Right now, gs is using 77 mb of ram. Gnome-terminal and Chromium open. 64 bit updated 12.04 with 2 gb of ram and a Radeon 4350.

desktop misplacement is due to nautilus desktop drawing.. it is reproducible via gnome-tweak-tool:
"Have file manager handle the desktop"

That's what it's set at lucazade.
The desktop mis-placement is only very fleeting and just as the desktop loads. It's fine after a second.

10 hours uptime now and GS is only using 111M of ram, so problem seems solved.
Thanks all

My GS (3.3.92) runs for days between reboots without any issues. Currently using 206M (down from 215M earlier). I think that's a lot but hadn't noticed it, wasn't worried about it but now that you guys have pointed it out - I'M ANGRY AS HELL!

Well, no not really, it is excessive but that's around 10% of resident memory. I guess it's all that Javascript goodness that has bloated it.

Hello All

Fine on i386 as well with yesterday's updated gnome-shell, package 3.3.92-0ubuntu1. Thanks to devs for squashing this one.

Now to see if I can provoke the freezing I was seeing with the previous version.

@cmccauley: Above with no extensions at all, and just with Firefox. What are you running when you see 200+ Mb of ram on Gnome Shell?

[Quackers]

Hmm, it seems that Xorg is now using 3 times the ram it used to
