Right after logging in, "top" utility shows that gnome-shell consumes
about 1.3G memory. IMO, 1.3G for a window manager is a lot, but still
acceptable. After using for about two hours, its memory consumption
grows up to more than 2.5G, and keeps growing! Smells like memory leaks :-(
I'm using nvidia 295.40 driver.

 Mine, with GS 3.2.2 and nVidia 295.49 is using 0.7GB (logged in since yesterday), with quite a few extensions & a custom theme.  Another user with few, if no, extensions is at about 0.6GB.  I've not noticed it leaking, but I've also not been looking, although I will now, just in case.  gdm's gnome-shell is 0.4GB.

 

Which version of gnome-shell are you using ? Are you using a 64-bit linux ?
