描述
I love the widgets, but have noticed a memory leak in the volume, brightness, and battery widgets. I see the leak on my desktop at work (which runs the unmodified volume widget code from the repository on an Antergos base) and on my laptop (which runs slightly modified versions of the volume and brightness widgets: it's an ARM chip running ArchLinuxARM (v7), so I cat the relevant file for the brightness and don't use pulse for the volume, but the battery widget is unchanged.)
I found the leak on the desktop system when getting a 'failed to allocate' error on trying to start a new instance of something, then tracking memory via htop; this showed a fairly steady leak (~500k/sec, if I'm reading htop right). I ruled out as much as I could, then finally decided to try disabling the volume widget; AwesomeWM memory use returned to stable. I then checked and repeated the same on the laptop, checking each widget individually. The leaks on the brightness and volume widgets are pretty much the same, though the battery widget seems to leak only slowly---I didn't even notice it at first.
Anyone else notice something similar, or have any idea how to fix it?
