memory leak?

[Jasper Huijsmans]

I'm guessing this will be in one of the plugins, it would be nice to 
find out which one.

If you restart the panel (right-click on handle -> Restart), I assume 
the memory footprint will be back to normal. Can you see it increasing 
immediately, or is it too slow?

If you can see the memory footprint increase, it would be nice to remove 
the plugins one by one and see if the leaking stops.

I know there is some memory leak in the panel when killing and 
restarting xfce-mcs-manager, but I haven't been able to find out where 
exactly, but I don't assume you have been doing that, have you?
