Gnome-Shell hogging memory?

[lokutus25]

My Ubuntu 11.10 witch gnome-shell happen to fill the swap memory slowly but inexorably.
I have 3Gb of fisical ram and 4Gb of ram.


$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2682032 2574436 107596 0 13528 253636
-/+ buffers/cache: 2307272 374760
Swap: 3905532 85604 3819928
$ uptime
13:34:24 up 4:50, 1 user, load average: 0.18, 0.15, 0.14


This is happening lately and If I leave the PC switched on but idle, the same happen anyway.
Checking who's using my ram, most of the processes are from the gnome environment.



PID=2961 - Swap used: 1508 - (nautilus )

Does anyone noticed this behavior?

I forgot to mention that I use a two monitor environment...
