Well, I see copy and paste support missing in lg...

and I see glibc_uordblks rising with every click on Full GC, and I see
"js bytes" memory gradually and slowly rising, which gives me no more
information than htop before.

I already disabled the (assumingly) badly written "Deepin Enhanced Dock"
extension, and memory rises more slowly already, but, e.g., in the last
1,5 hrs resource memory in htop, again, rose from 170MB to 218MB. Still,
that's all no way nearer to actually chasing any specific leaks..
