--- Comment #12 from Jonas Kvinge <jonas at jkvinge.net> ---
I've been using XFCE for many years and have never seen this issue before now.
But I've been working from home lately because of the corona virus. So I have a
KVM switch that I use to switch from my home desktop to my work laptop, lately
I've seen issues with xfdesktop growing to 2.5GB and more. I have to reboot
often now to free memory.
I notice that the memory increases if I switch to my work laptop and back with
around 125MB each time.

I have applied the patch now. Looks like the memory increased the first times I
switch, but stopped on 99MB now. I will do some more testing for a while before
I conclude.
If anyone is using openSUSE I've built xfdesktop with the patch here:
