k. well the only reason i noticed my memory decreasing is because of the load applet. its usually maintained at one bar but stared increasing to 2 with nothing open then 3 last night.

i checked the processes and turned out hildon-desktop was getting quite large so i decided to disable the clock. hildon-desktop crashed after i hit ok. the rest of the system didnt crash because the power button still brought up that menu allowing me to lock the machine or power it off. the screen lock toggle also still worked.

give it a couple of days and ill see if i still have an issue with memory. could be my imagination and that anything i did woulda crashed the desktop.

gluck, hope we figure this one out soon...
