RHBA-2012:0405 - gnome-desktop bug fix update
Synopsis
gnome-desktop bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated gnome-desktop package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The gnome-desktop package contains an internal library (libgnomedesktop) used to implement some portions of the GNOME desktop, and also some data files and other shared components of the GNOME user environment.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, due to an object not being destroyed, the Nautilus file manager could consume an excessive amount of memory. Consequently, constantly growing resident memory would slow down the system. The source code has been modified to prevent memory leaks from occurring and Nautilus now consumes a reasonable amount of memory. (BZ#639732)
All users of gnome-desktop are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
