Autokey eventually consumes over 100mb's of memory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Autokey.
2. Use system for a while (overnight).
3. Check memory usage (for me it's 100-150mb's)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This may change, but right now I only use Autokey for completing simple words 
and phrases, such as email addresses.  I use no scripts etc. other than what it 
came with.

When I start Autokey it uses around 14mb's of RAM.  This eventually climbs to 
around 35mb's and stays in that area.  This is normal I assume.  But if my 
computer is on for a long time, like overnight, when I come back to it the 
memory use exceeds 100mb's.  This, I assume, is a memory leak.

I have observed this two days in a row.  Each time I have stopped Autokey, so I 
do not know if it would continue to climb.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using Autokey (GTK UI) 0.71.1 from the Launchpad repository on Linux Mint 
10.

Try as I might, I cannot reproduce this problem. I would suggest that you try a 
different version of Linux - I've tried Ubuntu Lucid, Karmic and Maverick and 
none exhibit this problem. It would likely be a bug in one of the Python 
libraries in the particular version of Linux you are using.

Yes, I was just thinking about this.  It seems very random.  But it's still 
happening, even when I haven't used Autokey at all since the computers been on. 
 But if you can't reproduce it I guess it's a lost cause.
