[rox-users] Memory leak when using "Wallpaper" application?

[Frantisek F. <fu...@gm...>]

Hello,

I configured the "Wallpaper" application so that it generates new
random raytraced  backdrop each 10 minutes (using the "Raychase"
application)). In the "advanced" tab of "Wallpaper", I entered the
location of my script which looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
cd `dirname $0`
mkdir -p /tmp/raychase
STAMP=`date +%s`
PNGFILE="/tmp/raychase/raychase$STAMP.png"
nice ./raychase.fast -d -m1 -x1024 -y768 -s$PNGFILE &> /tmp/raychase.log
cat $PNGFILE

Now, if I set the Backdrop change interval to 10 minutes and leave the
computer running for, say, 5 hours, I see that my ROX-Filer now
consumes 150 megabytes of memory! After enough time, it eventually
consumes all available memory and whole swap file.

Because I am not much of a Linux expert, I have no idea if this is a
problem with Wallpaper application, with ROX-Filer, with my script or
with raytrace application. I'd appreciate any hints.
