Almost certain memory leak

image This will steadily go up over time. One thing to note is that I'm using wayland, might be related.

@JustSimplyKyle need more info.

  • What's the exact command you ran to start this app?
  • What desktop environment/window manager is it running under?
  • Does it occur for any wallpaper? Which have you tried that caused this leak?
  • You mentioned Wayland, do you use the XWayland compatibility tool or is this straight/pure Wayland?

  1. linux-wallpaper
  2. Hyprland, which is wlroots based
  3. I'm not sure if it's for all wallpaper, but the one that I've observed that give is.
  4. Wayland! Yes I have Xwayland active, but I'm not sure whether it uses it

Sorry, I should have been a little more clear on that first question. What's the full command + args you typed into the terminal? Or wherever you're calling this app from.

Could you provide the ID of the wallpaper you tried?

Sorry for the inconvenience! 1845706469 would be the id. linux-wallpaperengine 1845706469 --screen-root DP-2 --silent --no-auto-mute

This needs some profiling to locate where the leak comes from, looks to be happening regardless of the bg (at least on the ones I tested yesteday) but I need to look a bit deeper into this
