[Bug] Possible Memory leak.

[ChrisMidkiff]

Please include the debug file from ~/.config/worksets@blipk.xyz/debug.log and fill out the following sections

Desktop:

• Gnome-Shell Version (gnome-shell --version): 44.2
• GJS Version (gjs --version): 1.76.2
• Extension Version [e.g. 22]: 55
• Linux distribution and version: Manjaro

Describe the bug

Enabling this extension and switching workspaces increase memory usage of gnome-shell, without it being enabled gnome-shell sits at ~400MB of ram used. With it enabled and after switching workspaces a few times this usage increases to over a gigabyte and continues to increase. I've seen it as high as 6GB after a while.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Enabling this extension and switching workspaces

Expected behavior Use less memory

Yeah I'm probably not going to fix this.

The gnome teams make countless undocumented changes and have made it near impossible to debug extensions.

Latest versions of GTK seem to have broken a lot, and I can't even debug with restarting X sessions anymore.

Gnome-shell and GJS are inherently flawed with all kinds of memory leaks, can't say I've noticed your issue or had reports of memory leaks before, but it doesnt surprise me in the least.

Ideally this extension needs a complete rewrite, and it's not something I have the time for right now.

@ChrisMidkiff

I've uploaded a new version (57) with various fixes to the gnome-extensions website, it should be reviewed and approved in a few days - or you can use the zip/files in this repo.

Could you please try that and if you're still having the issue can you reopen the issue and provide your session.json and a new debug.log files from the config directory as well as any more information that may help me find the cause of this - as I am unable to reproduce.

Thanks
