Bug Description

While monitoring some processes to find another leak, I found indicator-datetime to constantly use more (resident) memory over time (see screenshot). Over 10 hours of the system idling, the process gained 5MB which is kind of unacceptable on long running systems (given that stays linear while the system is in use - I'm checking that today).

Will add valgrind information shortly.

This bug seems to be different from bug 782468, as I don't see that much of an increase. I've not added any additional timezones or anything like that.

Using indicator-application 0.2.93-0ubuntu1 on up-to-date Oneiric.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

For what it's worth, I'm not seeing these leaks in my own testing when running valgrind on the latest version of indicator-datetime, 13.10.0+14.04.20140227.1-0ubuntu1
