Bug Description
I was looking at a system today where the virtual memory usage of gnome-cd was over 700MB. It seems this program leaks over 100kB each minute.
How I assessed this on my own machine:
1) With no cd in the computer, launch "gnome-cd". Just let it sit there.
2) In a terminal, run the following pipeline:
while true; do time=$(date +%T) ; ps --no-headers --format "$time %z" $(pgrep gnome-cd); sleep 60; done
This will print the virtual memory usage of gnome-cd each minute with a timestamp. You can exit this command with Ctrl-C.
