Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-appmenu

I have noticed a slowdown in response time of my desktop in general, especially on nautilus commands (opening, searching, indexing, and so on...)

When checking on my system monitor, the appmenu indicator applet registered a whopping 1.3 gb of memory in use...

As soon as I deleted the applet and killed all nautilus processes and gnome panel to force their restart.. my system became it's usual snappy-response self.

Is this a known issue?

Please fix as this could most probably prove to become a massive show stopper for underpowered systems in terms of memory hardware.

Thanks
