Bug#765828: x11-utils: xprop -spy leaks memory
I just ran across this bug after seeing "xprop -root -spy" at 1.8 GB
on my desktop, which has been running 30 days. This definitely needs
to be addressed.
Hello maintainers:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/developer-duties
"3.1.4. Coordination with upstream developers
A big part of your job as Debian maintainer will be to stay in contact
with the upstream developers. Debian users will sometimes report bugs
that are not specific to Debian to our bug tracking system. You have
to forward these bug reports to the upstream developers so that they
can be fixed in a future upstream release.
While it's not your job to fix non-Debian specific bugs, you may
freely do so if you're able. When you make such fixes, be sure to pass
them on to the upstream maintainers as well. Debian users and
developers will sometimes submit patches to fix upstream bugs -- you
should evaluate and forward these patches upstream."
