memory hogging is occur when: 1) /usr/local is NFS mounted by autofs 2) The recentry-used-file entry exists in ~/.recentry-used If these conditions are set, gnome-panel was woken up repeatedly about once per second. The gnome-panel dose mmap for icon-theme.cache every time woken up, and don't munmap. The gnome-panel will become larger until memory is exhausted. Workaround is to stop NFS mount /usr/local by autofs.
