Budgie-vm memory leak when changeing backgrounds
Closed, LockedPublic

Description

When using the variety (0.83) to automatically change the background , using folders of pictures, the memory consumed by Budgie-vm increases with every change.
It is not uncommon for my machine to reach 3.4 GB for that process alone after a couple of hours.

This can, and has, caused some software to behave strangely including crashes.
