Bug Description
I'm not sure what this should be reported against, so I chose gnome-themes.
Some icon themes cause several different Gnome components to start eating
memory. I have only had this problem with "Dropline Etiquette", but I haven't
really used many icon themes.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download and install "Dropline Etiquette" icon theme.
2. Go to theme selector and select the Etiquette icon theme.
3. Launch top and watch gnome-panel, nautilus and epiphany go crazy. After a
short while they will have eaten all available core and swap. You won't be
able to launch any applications until you do a few kill -HUPs.
This is 100% reproducable on my system. Switching back to default icon theme
solves the problem.
